Nutrition Guidelines

These Nutrition Guidelines, developed by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, are intended to assist student nutrition program providers in selecting nutritious foods for breakfasts, lunches and snacks.

Included in this 35 page document is a Reference Guide to the minimum servings of vegetables and fruit, milk products, grain products, and meat and alternatives needed to achieve the recommended daily intake of food from each group. The Guide includes a printable one-page "Quick Reference," suitable for use in any food preparation area.

These guidelines are also available at the Ministry of Children and Youth Services website at http://www.gov.on.ca/children/graphics/255361.pdf
