1 Proposed regulatory requirements per serving are based on IOM RDAs/AIs for adult men 19-30 years in 900 kcal, and on 4 servings per day (i.e. a serving provides 1/4 of the daily RDAs/AIs). Energy retained at 225 kcal/serving.
2 Proposed regulatory requirements per serving are based on IOM RDAs/AIs for adult men 19-30 and on the RDA/AI in 2000 kcal. Minimum energy retained at 225 kcal /serving.
3 Requirement applies only to meal replacements represented for use as sole source of nutrition
