Key differences from US Nutrition Facts labels
✓Bilingual (English and French) is mandatory in Canada. US labels are English only.
✓Saturated and Trans fat share one combined %DV in Canada. US shows them separately.
✓Cholesterol and Protein show amounts only in Canada. No %DV. US shows %DV for cholesterol.
✓Potassium is mandatory in Canada since 2016. It was only recently added to US labels.
✓Canadian Daily Values differ from US values for many nutrients (fat: 75g vs 78g, potassium: 3400mg vs 4700mg).
✓Canadian rounding rules (Schedule M) differ from US rounding rules for nearly every nutrient.
