Table of contents
Overview
- Nutrition North Canada (NNC) provided over $18.3 million in subsidy during July, August and September 2018. This represents a decrease of 0.4% compared to the same period in 2017-2018.
- 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, meat, milk, bread, frozen potato products, eggs, yogurt, poultry and unsweetened juice of 250 ml and less.
- Of the products subsidized at the lower subsidy level, unsweetened juice (containers of more than 250 ml), pizza, ice cream, perishable combination foods and bacon received the most subsidy during the quarter. This list is similar to what was reported for the 2nd quarter of 2017-18.
