Objective: This study aimed (1) to characterise the use and prevalence of nutrition and health claims (NHC) and (2) to examine the association between NHC and the potential presence of Health Canada’s front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition symbol indicating high saturated fats, sugars and/or Na on a sample of Canadian prepackaged food products. Design: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on five categories of prepackaged food products. Label componen…
Nutritional portrait of processed foods purchased in Québec (Canada), 2016–2022
Objective: The Food Quality Observatory synthetises the nutritional composition of fifteen processed food categories commonly purchased in Québec (Canada). We assessed how the new Canadian front-of-pack (FoP) labelling regulation of a ‘high in’ symbol, to be implemented as of January 1, 2026, would be potentially reflected in these categories and how simulations of reformulation would impact the presence of the symbol. Design: Nutritional informa…
Association between the nutritional quality of Canadian packaged foods and their prices
Objective: To evaluate the association between nutritional quality and food prices within the same food category by: (1) identifying price differences among products above or below the nutrient thresholds of the Canadian front-of-package nutrition symbol and (2) investigating price differences among products with differing numbers of nutrients exceeding these thresholds. Design: This study is part of the Food Quality Observatory’s work, Québec (C…
Nutritional value of child-targeted food products
Objective: To characterise the nutritional quality of food products targeted to children, we aimed: (1) to determine if the nutritional composition of child-targeted food products is different from those for the general population and (2) to verify differences in the nutrient content of child-targeted food products between three selected food categories. Design: The present study is part of the work conducted by the Food Quality Observatory, crea…
Associations among eating behaviour traits, diet quality and food labelling
Objective: To assess the associations among eating behaviour traits, food label use and diet quality and to evaluate if the association between eating behaviour traits and diet quality is mediated by food label use. Design: Eating behaviour traits were assessed using the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), the Restraint Scale and the Intuitive Eating Scale, whereas food label use was measured with the Label Reading Survey. Diet quality (Can…
