your current code has the following:
calorieIntake : 2000,
//these are the recommended daily intake values
dailyValueTotalFat : 65,
dailyValueSatFat : 20,
dailyValueCholesterol : 300,
dailyValueSodium : 2400,
dailyValuePotassium : 3500,

dailyValueSelenium : 70,
dailyValueCopper : 2,
dailyValueManganese : 2,
dailyValueChromium : 120,
dailyValueMolybdenum : 75,
dailyValueChloride : 3400,
the FDA table is very different:

@sdwarwick for the code, that may be a fork as it is different from what we have. this is the current version of the code
nutrition-label/nutritionLabel.js
Lines 175 to 187 in db4c693
for the daily values, this is what we are using https://www.fda.gov/ICECI/Inspections/InspectionGuides/ucm114098.htm
you can simply change the daily values on the setting if you need to, to fit your need
thanks
