Description

<p>The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for Japanese stipulated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare represent the standard energy and nutrient intakes desirable for maintenance and promotion of public health. In this context, information on nutrient content appearing on food package labels, which is important when consumers are selecting particular foodstuffs, would naturally have an impact on health. Therefore, the system for nutrition labeling in Japan has been set to be consistent with government health and nutrition policy, as well as to ensure consistency with global health policy, such as the Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health proposed by the WHO, through the Codex Alimentarius Commission. In line with the enforcement of Food Labeling Standards based on the Food Labeling Act in April 2015, the Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) , which represent the standard for nutrition labeling, have been revised based on the 2015 edition of the DRIs for Japanese. In this paper, we describe the relationship between the DRIs for Japanese and the NRVs for nutrition labeling.</p>
