Standards for nutrient requirements for individuals and groups in the United States have been published since 1941. The Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) of the Institute of Medicine (IOM), a part of the National Academy of Sciences, is responsible for developing the nutrient recommendations. In the 1940’s the first published standards were known as the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). The RDAs had been updated periodically since 1941 with the last revision between 1997 and 2002. Each revision incorporates the most recent research available.
