Canada’s Food Guide is illustrated using an image of a rainbow. The rainbow graphic displays the four food groups with examples of nutritious foods in each of the groups. It includes recommendations for the quantity of food to eat for different age and sex groups and directional statements for each food group to guide the quality of food choices. Other messaging addresses advice for specific life stages, added fats and oils, foods and beverages to limit, water, the importance of variety, physical activity and nutrition labelling.
