The U.S. RDAs have been replaced by the Reference Daily Intake (RDI). The list includes only values for protein, vitamins, and minerals for use in nutrition labeling. The values for the U.S. RDAs are essentially the same as those in the RDIs except for protein, though the RDIs may be changed. A table listing the RDIs is within the document http://www.fda.gov/fdac/special/foodlabel/dvs.html .

The RDIs are also listed at http://www.fda.gov/ora/inspect_ref/igs/nleaatd.html#ATTACHMENT%208 . The list includes only nutrients with values listed in the Daily Reference Values (DRVs) and the Reference Daily Intakes (RDIs).

New definitions and descriptions of the nutritional terms and Reference Daily Intakes (RDIs), Daily Values (DVs), Daily Reference Values, (DRVs), and Recommended Dietary Allowances RDAs can be found at http://www.fda.gov/fdac/special/foodlabel/dvs.html .
