Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA)
- Guideline Daily Amounts ( GDA) helps consumers understand the nutritional information on food labels. The GDAs informs consumers the amount of fats,saturated fats, sugars, calories, carboyharates, protein, fibre, salt and sodium that are considered healthy for an everyday diet.
- It must be stated as individuals differ GDAs can only provide a bench mark of these nutirents not the exact statistics for every consumer.
- Also it must be stated that it is very rare for an individual to consume all the daily amounts of nutrients that the GDA specify. Therefore this is not the purpose of the GDA but just to help show consumers what a healthy nutritious diet can consist of.
