NOTES for Tables S-2 through S-22: * = AI value; AI = Adequate Intake; c-eq = cup-equivalents; DFE = dietary folate equivalents; EAR = Estimated Average Requirement; FP = food package; HEI = Healthy Eating Index–2010; IU = international units; oz-eq = oz equivalents; NA = not applicable; ND = not determined; RAE = retinol activity equivalents; WG = whole grain.

Current amounts reflect the foods as currently redeemed. Revised amounts reflect calculated revised redemption rates. Tests apply the calculated revised redemption rates to the changed food category unless noted otherwise. Details on methods used to develop the food package nutrient and cost profiles and to generate redemption rates are available in Appendix R.
