How do I designate a Supplemented Ingredient to meet Health Canada labeling requirements?

Health Canada has added labeling requirements for when certain nutrients or nutrient components are added to specific food products. Supplemented foods are prepackaged foods, such as a caffeinated energy drink or a granola bar with added vitamins, with one or more specific Ingredients (Supplemental Ingredient) added for purposes other than nutrition. Supplemental Ingredients include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and caffeine. 

To create a supplemented food label for a recipe, the user must begin by noting that an Ingredient is considered a Supplemented Ingredient by Health Canada. Supplemented food labels will resemble a Nutrition Facts Label with an additional “Supplemented with” section that lists the supplemented nutrient, value, and DV. 

1. Open the Ingredient. 
   
   
2. Click on the Designations tab in the left-hand column.
   
   
3. Select the box next to Is Supplement Ingredient. 
   
    
    
4. Save the Ingredient. 
   
   

Note: To generate a Canada supplemented food fact statement, the user must start at the Ingredient level. The user may need to add nutrient values to the Supplemented Ingredient.
