When we use the WIC Worksheet for Determining Iron and Sugar Requirements for Cereals we get iron and sugar amounts that are different from what the product manufacturer provides. Can the amount of iron and sugar be rounded up?
It has come to our attention that State agencies attempting to use the % Daily Value (DV) on the Nutrition Facts panel to calculate the amount of iron and sugar in cereals are getting values that are inconsistent with iron and sugar amounts provided by manufacturers. The Food and Drug Administration permits manufacturers to apply rounding in their calculation of %DVs for vitamins and minerals listed on products Nutrition Facts panel. For instance, nutrients that fall within 10-50% of the DV can be expressed to the nearest 5% of the %DV.
