Table of contents
Overview
- Nutrition North Canada (NNC) provided over $18.4 million in subsidy during July, August, and September 2017. This represents an increase of 8.3% compared to the same period in 2016-2017.
- Ten foods subsidized at the program's higher subsidy level accounted for more than three quarter of this amount: all fresh fruits, all fresh vegetables, milk, meat, bread, frozen potato products, yogurt, eggs, poultry and unsweetened juice of 250ml and less.
- Of the products subsidized at the lower subsidy level, unsweetened juice (containers of more than 250ml), pizza, ice cream, perishable combination foods and crackers received the most subsidy during the quarter. This is similar to what was reported for the 2nd quarter of 2016-2017.
- The quarterly report takes into account the addition of 37 new communities eligible to a full subsidy per kilogram. These communities represent 14.5% of the total kilograms of eligible food shipped by air for this quarter.
