In the original article, there was an error in Table 1 as published. The values for iron for adults 25+ and vitamin A for children 2–4, adolescents 10–19, women 15–49, and adults 25+ were incorrect. The corrected Table 1 appears below.

Recommended nutrient intakes for select groups.

Average energy requirements for a moderately active individual and recommended intakes for vitamin A, folate, calcium and zinc from the European Food Safety Authority (18). Recommended intakes for iron and vitamin B12 from the Institute of Medicine (19). 1Percentages represent different levels of bioavailability that correspond with the possible classifications of each food in the analysis. 2Assuming 300 mg phytate/day and 44% absorption for refined (R) diets, 600 mg phytate/day and 35% absorption for semi-refined (SR) diets, 900 mg phytate/day and 30% absorption for semi-unrefined (SU) diets, and 1,200 mg phytate/day and 26% absorption for unrefined (U) diets. 3Includes both men and women. AER, Average Energy Requirement; DFE, dietary folate equivalent; R, refined; RAE, retinol activity equivalent; SR, semi-refined; SU, semi-unrefined; U, unrefined; Vit, vitamin.
