Under the Code, nutrition content claims are not required to meet the Nutrient Profiling Scoring Criteria (NPSC).

Some products were associated with both nutrition content and health claims; therefore the total is not the sum of the products with nutrition claims and health claims.

Indicates the products that may be non-compliant with the Code.
