On 22 October Health Canada and Food and Consumer Products of Canada (FCPC) announced the launch of the Nutrition Facts Education Campaign to help Canadians make informed food choices.
The campaign focuses on increasing Canadians’ understanding of the nutrition facts table and, in particular, the “% Daily Value” (% DV).
The initiative includes a multi-faceted approach to explain % DV to consumers through messages to appear on food packages, in stores, and in national media. Consumers will be directed to Health Canada’s educational web site, www.healthcanada.gc.ca/dailyvalue [9], which contains tips on how to use % DV to make healthier food choices.
