What is a Nutrition Facts table?
A Nutrition Facts table is the standardized format used to provide consumers with nutrition information for a specific serving of your food product. The information displayed on the Nutrition Facts table is regulated by Health Canada. There are 13 mandatory nutrients to display as well as specifications for other components such as the size of the table and font. In addition, nutrient values must be rounded in a specific way. Nutrition Facts tables for your products should be developed and reviewed by someone familiar with the nutrition labelling regulations to ensure compliance.
