In Table 1, the values in the “reference amount” column are incorrect. Please see the correct Table 1 here.
Table 1. Nutrient thresholds which would determine the display of a front-of-pack symbol according to Canadian front-of-pack labelling regulations.
Age groups | Reference amount | Thresholds, %DV | Thresholds, absolute amount per nutrient | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Saturated fat (g) | Sodium (mg) | Sugars (g) | |||
Adults and children >4 years of age | ≤30 g or 30 mL | 10% | 2 | 230 | 10 |
>30 g or 30 mL and <200 g | 15% | 3 | 350a | 15 | |
≥200 g | 30% | 6 | 690 | 30 | |
Children 1-4 years of age | ≤30 g or 30 mL | 10% | 1 | 120 | 5 |
>30 g or 30 mL and <170 g | 15% | 1.5 | 180 | 8a | |
≥170 g | 30% | 3 | 360 | 15 |
aThe values are adjusted according to the rounding rules for nutrition labelling information as per Food and Drug Regulations [37]. Abbreviations: %DV, Percent Daily Value.
