Nutritional Values

All the information on the Nutrition Facts table is based on a specific amount of food. This amount may be different than one Food Guide Serving. You can use the Nutrition Facts table to:

• Compare products more easily;
• Determine the nutritional value of foods; and
• Help you choose a product with more or less of a particular nutrient.

Use the food label on packaged products to select meat and alternatives prepared with little or no added fat or salt.
