Health Canada has made improvements to the nutrition facts table information on food labels based on feedback from consumers and stakeholders.

The changes to the nutrition facts table include:

  • making the serving size more:

    • consistent so that it's easier to compare similar foods

    • realistic so that it reflects the amount that the people in Canada typically eat in one sitting

  • making the information on serving size and calories easier to find and read by:

    • increasing the font size of serving size and calories

    • adding a bold line under the calories

  • revising the % daily values based on updated science

  • adding a new % daily value for total sugars

  • updating the list of nutrients to:

    • add potassium because:

      • it's important for maintaining healthy blood pressure

      • most people in Canada are not getting enough of this nutrient

    • remove vitamin A and vitamin C because:

      • most people in Canada get enough of these nutrients in their diets

  • adding the amounts in milligrams (mg) for potassium, calcium and iron

  • adding a footnote at the bottom of the table about % daily value

    • this will help consumers understand how much sugar and other nutrients (like sodium) are in their food and will explain that:

      • 5% or less is a little

      • 15% or more is a lot
