Per the latest regulations for Canada, there are additional labeling requirements for when certain nutrients or nutrient components are added to specific food products. Supplemented foods are prepackaged foods, such as a caffeinated energy drink or a granola bar with added vitamins, with one or more specific Ingredients (Supplemental Ingredient) added for purposes other than nutrition. Supplemental Ingredients include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and caffeine.
We have added this to Genesis R&D Food Classic for full information see:2016 Supplemented Food Facts
Supplemented food labels will resemble a Nutrition Facts Label with an additional “Supplemented with” section that lists the supplemented nutrient, value, and DV.
If there are no Supplemented Ingredients, the Label will state No Supplemented Ingredients present.
In addition, Supplemented Foods must display the Supplemented Food Identifier in English, French or Bilingual English/French.
In addition to these two features, Health Canada requires a cautionary statement if a nutrient value exceeds the threshold. Users can read more about these requirements and the statements here: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/supplemented-foods/labels.html . If a supplemented food is included, the user must ensure that the Nutrients values are updated, so that the program can identify which cautionary statements are needed. See our manual page on 2016 Supplemented Food Facts for more details.
