Sending our recipes to a nutritionist, or out to a lab and having to wait three weeks for results is timely. Instead we use MenuSano, a web-based nutritional calculator. It really has made this journey easier for me.

The one thing we were surprised to find out is how much sodium our recipes contain. We thought we used minimal salt but Menusano helped us discover that some of our recipes contained a surprising amount, which made us change some of our recipes.

FAQ

What is required on a Canadian Nutrition Facts table?

Most prepackaged foods sold in Canada require a Nutrition Facts table. It includes serving size, Calories, nutrient amounts and applicable % Daily Values presented in a prescribed Canadian format. Some foods and situations may have different requirements or exemptions.

MenuSano’s nutrition analysis software can calculate the nutrition data behind your label directly from your recipe.

Do Nutrition Facts tables need to be bilingual in Canada?

Generally, yes. Canadian Nutrition Facts tables must be presented in both English and French unless the product qualifies for an exemption from bilingual labelling. Depending on the applicable requirements, the information may be presented in a bilingual table or separate English and French tables.

Can I use a US Nutrition Facts label in Canada?

No. Canadian and US nutrition labelling requirements and formats are different. A US Nutrition Facts label is not a substitute for the Canadian Nutrition Facts table.

If you also sell products in the United States, learn more about FDA Nutrition Facts labels.

How is serving size determined for a Canadian Nutrition Facts table?

Serving size depends on the type of food and Canada’s applicable reference amount and serving-size rules. Serving sizes are typically shown using a familiar household measure together with a metric amount, such as grams or millilitres.

What nutrients are required on a Canadian Nutrition Facts table?

A standard Canadian Nutrition Facts table includes Calories and information for fat, saturated and trans fats, carbohydrates, fibre, sugars, protein, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, calcium and iron. Nutrient amounts and applicable % Daily Values must follow the prescribed Canadian presentation requirements.

What Nutrition Facts table formats are available in Canada?

Canada provides several prescribed Nutrition Facts table formats, including standard, horizontal, simplified, dual and aggregate formats, as well as bilingual variations. The format that can be used depends on factors such as the product, package and available display surface.

MenuSano’s nutrition label software supports Canadian Nutrition Facts tables as part of a connected recipe, nutrition analysis and labelling workflow.

Can MenuSano generate Canadian Nutrition Facts tables?

Yes. MenuSano uses your recipe and nutrition data to generate Canadian Nutrition Facts tables, including bilingual label formats. When you update the underlying recipe, you can recalculate the nutrition information and generate an updated label without rebuilding it from scratch.

Labelling requirements can vary by food and situation, so businesses should review the applicable CFIA requirements for their specific products.
