The Compendium of Templates for "Nutrition Facts" Tables includes 270 templates which correspond to the full size graphic illustrations of the various versions of the Nutrition Facts table permitted by the Food and Drug Regulations on Nutrition Labelling. These templates will assist label designers and members of the food and packaging industries in complying with the format specifications of the Regulations.

The Compendium of Templates for "Nutrition Facts" Tables was created in QuarkXPress 4.1 and is available in that format upon request at cfiamaster@inspection.gc.ca.

Please note:

The Compendium is available in Acrobat (pdf) files on this website for illustrative purposes only. If the Acrobat (pdf) files are printed using Acrobat Reader or opened in commonly used artwork software packages such as Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand, the conversion will cause alterations in the graphic elements. Consequently, before using the converted templates, it is important to check them against the graphic specifications in Schedule L of the Regulations.

The Compendium is only partly available in webpage (HTML) format since the images included in the document may not conform to the specifications in the Regulations. Do not use images from the HTML document for generating (e.g. copying, importing, printing) the Nutrition Facts table.
