Front of Package Nutrition Symbol Generator
in 2022, The Canadian Government enacted regulations that requires that certain foods require a front-of-package nutrition symbol to warn consumers of elevated levels of the nutrients Saturated Fat, Sodium and Sugars.
The rules set out for determining the contents of the symbol, the dimension, the shape and alignment are based on several factors, which include information from a products nutrition facts panel, the dimensions of the container, whether the product is exempt, and the reference amount of the food.
A Compendium of Symbols is available online and can be found here:
