ARCHIVED: Nutrition labelling - Table of reference amounts for food 2016 [2025-12-31]
Notice to Reader
As per the transitional provision included in the November 2022 version of this Table, a prepackaged product can continue to be labelled in accordance with this document until December 31, 2025.
This is an archived Table. Please refer to the most current version of this Table.
Overview
This document sets out reference amounts for different categories of foods.
Reference amounts:
- represent the amount of food typically consumed in one sitting
- are used to determine what is considered to be a single-serving container
- serve as the basis for determining the serving size to be shown in the nutrition facts table of multiple-serving packages of foods
- serve as part of the criteria for making nutrient content claims
Also provided are instructions on how to determine the serving size for the nutrition facts table.
This document is incorporated by reference in the Food and Drug Regulations.
