Tag: Canada s food guide 2019

On January 22, 2019, Health Canada officially released the revised Canada's Food Guide, marking a significant departure from previous versions with a new focus on eating patterns and plant-based foods. This latest update aimed to provide a more modern and accessible approach to healthy eating for all Canadians, based on scientific evidence.

In a major overhaul announced on January 22, 2019, Health Canada eliminated the four traditional food groups and specific serving recommendations from its iconic food guide. This dramatic shift prompted many Canadians to ask: what happened to Canada's Food Guide? The change marked a significant departure from decades-old dietary advice, favouring a new, simplified approach centered on proportions and eating habits.
