1An application represents the purpose for which an NP model was built. Each model is associated with only 1 primary application; therefore, the total of the number of models per primary application equals 78. An additional application represents one that is specified in the source reference of a model in addition to its primary application (e.g., model no. 11 is primarily meant for front-of-pack food labeling but also has reformulation as an additional application). For a given model, the number of additional applications could range between 0 and 5. N/A, not applicable; NP, nutrient profile.

2Other additional applications for model 144 not indicated in the table include: limiting the sale of sugar substitutes; supporting healthy eating in the classroom (classroom celebrations and rewards); decreasing or eliminating bottled water.

3An additional application for model 341 not indicated in the table includes: concessions (meaning here food services in general; not specifically related to recreational, health, or government facilities).

4Also implied in most of the other models without necessarily being explicitly mentioned (e.g., model no. 291).

5Another additional application for model 371 not indicated in the table includes: revenue-generating tool (for the health care system).
