Posted on May 24, 2016 by Vitamin D Council

For the first time in over 20 years, the nutrition label will be updated and improved with new features such as added sugars, larger serving sizes and vitamin D. Since research shows that Americans do not get enough vitamin D, the FDA has added the sunshine vitamin to the label in order to emphasize this essential nutrient.

    Sorry Ian the RDA stays at 600iu and at least the label I looked at gave the Vitamin D as mcg not iu and the calculated percent of the RDA for that food item. Now the consumer can be even more confused about iu’s and mcg’s!
