EU Reference Intake (RI) values for young children
Hi,
Does any one know are there EU reference Intake values(RI) for
young children.If there are where can I find them?
Hi Asith,
So far as I recall, the only published RI values for labelling purposes are the Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) for adults in Annex XIII of Regulation (EU) 1169/2011.
If your interest isn't specifically related to labelling then you may find the recently released online tool for Dietary Reference Values useful, as this includes various age groups: https://www.efsa.eur...tive-pages/drvs
Dear asith
I agree with PHruit. There are only RI for adults available. For kids it is hard to decide what the right numbers are - too much dependent on the age (3y or 9y).
Therefore our decision is not to lable kids products with these numbers in nutrition labelling.
