Health Canada's front-of-package nutrition warning labels are appearing in stores ahead of schedule. The black-and-white labels inform consumers when products have high sugar, sodium, or saturated fat, which can increase health risks including obesity and heart disease. The labels are automatically applied to foods with 15% or more of daily value for these nutrients. Dietitian Brittany Brown notes the limitations of the labels, emphasizing that they only serve as basic warnings and do not provide detailed nutrition information beyond these markers.
