In 1993, the European Scientific Committee for Food set population reference intakes (PRI) for vitamin B2 (riboflavin) in milligrams (mg) per day (14):
| Age | Males: mg/day | Females: mg/day |
| 6–12 months | 0.4 | 0.4 |
| 1–3 years | 0.8 | 0.8 |
| 4–6 years | 1.0 | 1.0 |
| 7–10 years | 1.2 | 1.2 |
| 11–14 years | 1.4 | 1.2 |
| 15–17 years | 1.6 | 1.3 |
| 18 years and older | 1.6 | 1.3 |
| Pregnant | - | 1.6 |
| Breast-feeding | - | 1.7 |
In 1998, the U.S. Food and Nutrition Board established recommended dietary allowance (RDA) values for vitamin B2 (riboflavin), based on the prevention of deficiency (1):
| Life Stage | Age | Males: (mg/day) | Females: (mg/day) |
| Infants | 0–6 months | 0.3 (AI) | 0.3 (AI) |
| Infants | 7–12 months | 0.4 (AI) | 0.4 (AI) |
| Children | 1–3 years | 0.5 | 0.5 |
| Children | 4–8 years | 0.6 | 0.6 |
| Children | 9–13 years | 0.9 | 0.9 |
| Adolescents | 14–18 years | 1.3 | 1.0 |
| Adults | 19 years and older | 1.3 | 1.1 |
| Pregnancy | all ages | - | 1.4 |
| Breast-feeding | all ages | - | 1.6 |
