Nutrition facts on a food label can be interpreted two ways: the actual nutrient content of a serving of that food as well as an assessment of how that food's nutrients contribute towards the daily values based on a 2000 or 2500 calorie diet.
Food manufacturers are a powerful group and can also support nutrition research and affiliated agencies.
