A healthy diet that is safe to eat is an important part of good health. Although we encourage a healthy, balanced diet, our focus is food safety. For specific nutrition information, seek the advice of a registered dietitian. Health Canada provides some general nutrition information and details on eating well with Canada’s Food Guide. This guide can be found on Health Canada’s website at: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide-aliment/index-eng.php
This section contains information related to nutrition such as labeling, food fortification and natural health products. Standard nutrition labeling on food products is designed to provide information to assist Canadians in making informed choices about the foods they buy and eat. Regulations for natural health products and food fortification policies are designed to protect and enhance the health of Canadian consumers.
