Problem 10
Which statement best contrasts the intended use of DRIs versus the DGAs for a policymaker aiming to set nutrient fortification levels?
A
DGAs provide the precise nutrient tables and numeric targets necessary for labelling compliance, while DRIs focus primarily on consumer-facing food group pictures and portion advice.
B
DRIs provide specific numeric nutrient targets and scientific basis ideal for setting fortification policy, whereas DGAs provide broad dietary patterns and behavioral guidance for the general public.
C
Food labels supply the evidence-based numeric nutrient recommendations that replace DRIs and are therefore the primary resource for policymakers establishing national nutrient standards.
D
DRIs are consumer-focused graphical tools designed to replace MyPlate for everyday meal guidance, and DGAs are technical reports intended solely for scientists.
