Single Serving Packaged Food List (September 2009)
"The Single Serving Packaged Food List was developed by a Working Group of Provincial Nutritionists' in Alberta to assist schools in implementing the Alberta Nutrition Guidelines for Children and Youth. The foods included in this List are packaged products available in the marketplace that meet the 'Choose Most Often' and 'Choose Sometimes' criteria as listed in the Alberta Nutrition Guidelines."
The Product Review Form can be used to submit new food items for evaluation. It is important to fill out the form completely. If possible a photocopy (or scan) of the product label should come with the Product Review Form. Foods will be reviewed once per year and available for the new school year. Foods that do not meet the Choose Most Often or the Choose Sometimes category will not be placed on the food list, nor will feedback be provided to the sender. Please send the Product Review Form and copy of label to Marlis.Atkins@albertahealthservices.ca.
