By default, NutriBase uses the Daily Reference Values. These values are already set up for you. NutriBase uses this standard because these are the basis of the percentage calculations used in the creation of Nutrition Facts Labels.

You can create a new standard (we refer to this as a new “Criteria”) by clicking the “New” button. You might want to do this in special circumstances when you need to compare nutrient intake to your own custom standard of reference (commonly done in nutrition studies for special populations).
