 The change from GDA to RI on labels on pre-packaged food and drinks sold in the UK is due to Regulation (EU) 1169/2011.The intention of the EU Regulation is to harmonise across Europe the content, expression and presentation of the nutrition information given to consumers.Since RIs are for an average adult, concerns have been raised by major retailers and manufacturers that they may face criticism for misrepresenting the contribution to the diet of products targeted at children, particularly given concerns around children's diet and obesity levels.
