In 2019, Canada's Food Guide (CFG) was updated from the 2007 version. This study developed a food-based nutrient profile model (NPM) to evaluate the alignment of packaged food and beverage products with CFG 2019 and compared it with CFG 2007. Packaged products from the University of Toronto's Food Label Information Program 2017 database were evaluated in terms of their alignment with CFG 2007 (using the Health Canada Surveillance Tool (HCST)) and CFG 2019 (using our newly developed CFG 2019 NPM). Agreement in alignment (e.g., products "in line" according to CFG 2019 NPM and in Tiers 1 or 2 according to the HCST) was calculated and differences in alignment and reasons for differences were quantified and described. Overall agreement in product alignment between CFG 2007 and 2019 was 81.9%, with fewer products aligned with CFG 2019: 16.4% vs. 31.8%, (χ = 189.12, < 0.001). Differences in alignment varied across food categories (0.0-73.8%), explained by differences in CFG 2019, reflected in the CFG 2019 NPM (e.g., emphasis on avoiding processed foods, encouraging whole grains and low-fat dairy). This study presents a first step in assessing packaged foods' alignment with CFG 2019; future work is needed to evaluate broader dietary adherence to the updated recommendations. A food-based nutrient profile model was developed based on the 2019 CFG and tested on packaged foods by comparing it with the nutrient-based HCST, based on CFG 2007. Most (82%) packaged products were "not in line" with either CFG version.
2019年，加拿大食品指南（CFG）从2007年版进行了更新。本研究开发了一种基于食物的营养素概况模型（NPM），以评估包装食品和饮料产品与2019年CFG的一致性，并将其与2007年CFG进行比较。根据多伦多大学2017年食品标签信息计划数据库中的包装产品与2007年CFG（使用加拿大卫生部监测工具（HCST））和2019年CFG（使用我们新开发的2019年CFG NPM）的一致性进行评估。计算一致性方面的一致性（例如，根据2019年CFG NPM“符合”且根据HCST属于第1或2层的产品），并对一致性差异和差异原因进行量化和描述。2007年和2019年CFG之间产品一致性的总体一致性为81.9%，与2019年CFG一致的产品较少：16.4%对31.8%，（χ = 189.12， < 0.001）。不同食品类别之间的一致性差异各不相同（0.0 - 73.8%），这是由2019年CFG的差异所解释的，反映在2019年CFG NPM中（例如，强调避免加工食品、鼓励全谷物和低脂乳制品）。本研究迈出了评估包装食品与2019年CFG一致性的第一步；未来需要开展工作，以评估对更新建议更广泛的饮食依从性。基于2019年CFG开发了一种基于食物的营养素概况模型，并通过将其与基于2007年CFG的基于营养素的HCST进行比较，在包装食品上进行了测试。大多数（82%）包装产品与任一CFG版本“不一致”。
