What does “% of daily reference” mean?

Codex Nutrient Reference Values are standard daily values for the general population older than 36 months, designed for nutrition labelling. The percentage shows how much this amount contributes to that daily reference; it is a comparison guide, not a personalised medical target. Vitamin D, iron and zinc use ranges because their Codex values depend on sunlight exposure or dietary absorption. Sodium and saturated fat are daily maximums; potassium is a daily target. A percentage is shown only when the stored nutrient matches the Codex total or equivalent. Codex does not define a separate daily reference for each individual fatty acid.

Halloumi Veggie Burger

20 min 12 min 20 min

A Gordon Ramsay-inspired veggie burger with halloumi, zucchini, and carrots, built for people who want crisp edges, a juicy center, and enough flavor to stop missing the beef for one evening. It leans plant-forward, uses plenty of vegetables, and keeps the cheese where it actually earns its dramatic salary.
