Question

A food is high in sodium if it contains more than 20% of the % Daily Value for that nutrient, whereas a food low in sodium contains no more than 5% of the % Daily Value for that nutrient.

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Food and Drug Authority (FDA), the daily value is the reference amount of nutrients which shall be consumed and not be exceeded in all age ranges from children 4 years and olders till older adults. The sodium daily value in mg is less than 2300 mg/day. the % daily value (DV) is a valuable tool in finding what percentage of a nutrient shall be part of daily food serving. Hence, as a general guide by FDA approves 5% DV of sodium as low and 20% DV of sodium serving as high. This amount is recommended for one serving of food and the serving size and number of food servings taken each day shall also be determined to know your sodium consumption for whole day.
