% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Beef liver is a highly nutrient-dense food, rich in protein, iron, and essential vitamins, particularly vitamin A and B vitamins, which support various bodily functions. While it provides significant nutritional benefits, including high levels of preformed vitamin A, excessive consumption may lead to vitamin A toxicity, as noted by Medical News Today and WebMD. Additionally, like other cooked meats, beef liver can form heterocyclic amines during high-temperature cooking, which are identified as potential human carcinogens by NCBI.
