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.
