THE DISPLAY OF NUTRITION LABELS AND HEALTH MESSAGES ON READY-TO-SERVE PROCESSED FOODS

A. Nutri-Level

The Nutri-Level is determined based on the sugar, salt, and saturated fat content per 100 mL of ready-to-serve processed food in beverage form.

D

Sugar (g)

No added sweeteners

>5–10

>10–120

>120–500

Saturated Fat (g)

≤0.7

>0.7–1.2

>1.2–2.8

>2.8

Notes

  1. Level A represents lower sugar, salt, and fat content than Level B; Level B is lower than Level C; and Level C is lower than Level D.
  2. Level A products must not contain food additive sweeteners (natural and/or artificial sweeteners), whether through direct addition or carry-over.
  3. Level B products may only use natural sweeteners as food additives.
  4. Levels C and D may use food additive sweeteners (natural and/or artificial sweeteners).
  5. Sugar includes all monosaccharides and disaccharides, excluding lactose.

Examples of converting sugar values from “per serving” to “per 100 mL” for Nutri-Level determination:

Example
