How to Read a Nutrition Label for Vitamin D
A serving size of this cereal is 1 cup or 28 g for
persons 4+ years of age.
There are 100 calories in a serving of Cheerios
without milk.
1 cup of Cheerios provides 10% of your Daily Value
for Vitamin D.
400 IU x 10% = 400 x 0.10 = 40 IUs per serving
If you add ½ cup skim milk to the cereal it provides
25% of your Daily Value of Vitamin D.
400 IU x 25% = 400 x 0.25 = 100 IUs per serving
