5.6.1 When to Use Standard, Horizontal and Linear Formats
The Standard Format is used when displaying the nutrient information for:
• one serving of a food, as sold [B.01.406(1)];
• an entire product that contains separately packaged ingredients or foods that are intended to be consumed together, e.g., a combination of taco shells, seasoning and salsa sauce in a taco kit [B.01.406(2)] (See also 5.6.4 of this Guide);
• one of the foods in an assortment of foods of the same type, where the typical serving consists of only one of those foods, and the nutrition information for each is the same, e.g., multi-pack of individually wrapped drinks in a variety of fruit flavours [B.01.406(3)(b)]. (See also 5.6.4 of this Guide for other types of assortments); and
• all foods in an assortment of foods as a composite value, when the assortment of foods is of the same type, the typical serving consists of more than one of these foods, and the nutrition information for each is different, e.g., a box of assorted chocolates, [B.01.406(4)]. (See also 5.6.4 of this Guide for other types of assortments).
