Step 3: Choose the appropriate Nutrition Facts table using decision trees.Step 2: Choose a Nutrition Facts table format family.Step 1: Measure the available display surface of your package.Steps for choosing a Nutrition Facts table The steps involved in choosing an NFt format are set out in the section Steps for choosing a Nutrition Facts table. Third consideration: What format is required The manner of presenting nutrition information directly affects the choice of Nutrition Facts table format. In some cases the manner of presenting information is mandatory, while in other cases it is at the discretion of the manufacturer. Sections B.01.401(6), B.01.401(6.1), B.01.403(5) and B.01.406 of the FDR outline the conditions under which the various options for the presentation of nutrition information may be used. As well, information for the food as sold (such as a cold cereal) may differ from information about the food as prepared (cereal with milk).
For example, nutrition information may be provided for a food in more than one amount (2 cookies, 1 cookie), or for individual foods in a multi-pack (crackers and cheese). However, in certain circumstances, the manufacturer is provided with other presentation options. Issues related to serving size are discussed in the Information within the Nutrition Facts table page. They are percolated, brewed, infused or steeped in water and the original food (grounds or leaves) is then discarded and only the liquid is consumed. These forms of coffee and tea are not consumed in their "as sold" form. However, nutrition information for specific forms of coffee (whole or ground beans and pods) and tea (dry loose leaves, bags and pods) must be provided in the Nutrition Facts table on an "as consumed" basis, rather than on an "as sold" basis. In the majority of cases, nutrition information is presented on the basis of a serving of food as sold. Second consideration: On what basis will the information be presented The appropriate sections provide further information. The 2 last classes of foods have specific requirements associated with them.
There are major differences in the nutrition labelling requirements depending upon who is consuming or buying the product. First consideration: Who will buy the product The specific format chosen and the size of Nutrition Facts table are based on a combination of mandatory and voluntary considerations. For example, manufacturers may opt for separate French and English tables (including a narrow variation in the case of the standard format) or choose to use a single bilingual table. Within each format family, further choices of presentation style are available. Industry has considerable flexibility in presentation, and may choose from several different format "families". Although the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR) require the declaration of a Nutrition Facts table (NFt) on most prepackaged products, the information may be presented in a variety of different formats.
