Acceptable daily intake or ADI is a measure of the amount of a specific substance (originally applied for a food additive, later also for a residue of a veterinary drug or pesticide) in food or drinking water that can be ingested (orally) daily over a lifetime without an appreciable health risk.[1] ADIs are expressed usually in milligrams (of the substance) per kilograms of body weight per day.[2][3]
