ReciPal now supports Canadian nutrition fact labels thanks to your support and feedback. We've had a number of customers ask for a Canadian nutrition label generator and we just couldn't deprive them anymore.

EDIT (September 25, 2024): We now also have the New Canadian formats, including vertical, linear, horizontal, as packaged/as prepared, and 100 grams. To use the new formats, pick the "Canadian New" options using the Label Type dropdown menu above the label itself.

Canadian Nutrition Label In Action

If you don't have an account, you can still check it out yourself with our sample nutrition label. To see the old Canadian format, click on the Label Style button on the left hand side and click the check box for 'Canadian bilingual label'. You'll see the label transform from the FDA vertical label style to the analogous Canadian style. Below is a side by side comparison of the two formats:

The US and Canadian label formats side-by-side

The two label styles are fairly similar, but there are some key differences for the Canadian label:

• Language. The Canadian label requires both English and French.
• Daily Values. Recommended intake is the same for the core nutrients, but different for some vitamins, resulting in different values on the label.
• Rounding. Rounding rules are slightly different for a few nutrient types.
• Layout. The layout has different sized separators and optional footnote sections.

More To Come

We started with the standard vertical format for the Canadian label, as it's the most common label style that our customers use (but have since added a bunch more). You can also add the French version of the ingredient list from the Ingredient List page of the recipe. We'll work on adding other Canadian label formats as well, so let us know which ones are most urgent in the comments below.
