The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed including a percent daily value (%DV) for added sugars on Nutrition Facts labels on packaged foods.
The value would be based on the recommendation that the daily intake of calories from added sugars not exceed 10 percent of total calories. And, the new section would be similar to information on nutrients that has been on Nutrition Facts for decades, such as total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, calcium, and iron.
