Which acronym stands for a standard used to determine serving-based labeling?

• A. PDP
• B. FDA
• C. RACC
• D. NLEA

Answer: (C)

Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed (RACC) is the standard used to determine serving-based labeling. It defines the typical amount of a food people eat in one sitting, which sets the “serving size” on the Nutrition Facts panel so nutrient amounts reflect real-world intake and help shoppers compare products. RACC values guide how manufacturers calculate nutrient declarations per serving and percent daily values. The FDA is the agency that regulates labeling, and the NLEA was the law that mandated nutrition labeling, but neither themselves designate the specific standard for serving sizes. PDP isn’t used for nutrition labeling standards.
