Health Canada to Educate Public On Nutrition Facts

Health Canada and the Food & Consumer Products of Canada (FCPC) are running a Nutrition Facts Education Campaign to help Canadians better understand and use the Nutrition Facts table and the Percent Daily Value (%DV) information.

Using %DV is a quick way to know the nutrients in a packaged food, and can help consumers choose food products.

The campaign provides important information about food labels through on-package messaging, print ads, a television commercial and a website.
