What does 'source of' mean on a label?

A label can't just claim there's a lot of something in a product. There are rules for that.

Source of

A product may call itself a 'source of' a vitamin or mineral if it contains at least 15% of the RI. For peppers, that's per daily dose.

High in

'High in' only applies at double that: at least 30% of the RI.

Why it matters

That way these words mean the same everywhere. Health claims are only allowed from that 15% too. Read more in why we say contributes to.
