2015-2016: 1st Quarter (April, May and June 2015)
Table of contents
Overview
- Nutrition North Canada (NNC) provided over $16.8 million in subsidy during April, May and June 2015. This represents an increase of 7.3% compared to the same period in 2014-2015. Ten foods subsidized at the program’s higher subsidy level accounted for more than three quarter of this amount: all fresh fruits, meat, all fresh vegetables, milk, bread, frozen potato products, yogurt, eggs, poultry and UHT milk
- Of the products subsidized at the lower subsidy level, pizza, unsweetened juice (containers of more than 250 ml), ice cream, crackers and perishable combination foods received the most subsidy during the quarter. This is similar to what was reported for the 1st quarter of 2014-2015.
