The ChooseMyPlate program was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to replace the MyFoodPyramid program. ChooseMyPlate serves as a basic guide for making food choices for a healthy lifestyle. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) created daily values for food labels in response to the 1990 Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA). The FDA first es-tablished two sets of reference values: referenced daily intakes (RDIs) and daily reference values (DRVs).
