% NRV is the nutrient reference value for an average adult, as set in Annex XIII of Regulation (EU) 1169/2011. A blank cell means no reference value is defined for that nutrient, not that it is unimportant.
What this food is a source of
Per 100 g this food does not reach the EU threshold for any nutrient claim. That is a statement about the threshold, not a verdict on the food — portion size, what it replaces in a meal and how often you eat it all matter more than a single cut-off.
Where these numbers come from. Composition data: USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy release, entry Beverages, tea, black, brewed, prepared with tap water (FDC ID 173227). Values are per 100 g of the food as described, and real foods vary with variety, season, soil, storage and cooking. Claim thresholds: Regulation (EC) 1924/2006. Claim wording: Regulation (EU) 432/2012.
This is reference information, not personal advice. Nutrient content is one small part of a diet, and no single food prevents or treats disease. If you are pregnant, managing a medical condition, or taking medication — particularly anticoagulants, thyroid medication or immunosuppressants, where diet can interact — ask your doctor or pharmacist before making changes.
