Nutrition Surveillance Data Tool from Health Canada
The Nutrition Surveillance Data Tool was developed by the Bureau of Food Surveillance and Science Integration (BFSSI) at Health Canada. This tool presents usual intakes of energy, nutrients and other dietary components using data collected in the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey – Nutrition. It highlights where Canadians’ intakes fall relative to Dietary Reference Intakes established by the Institute of Medicine of The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine.

Notes & Legend
Please refer to the “About the data” tab for detailed notes that apply to all of the tables and graphs in the Usual Intake Data Tool.
| E | Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) from 16.6% to 33.3%; interpret with caution. This is shown on the graph through the use of striped bars. |
| <3 | Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) greater than 33.3% with a 95% confidence interval entirely between 0 and 3%; interpret with caution. |
| F | Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) greater than 33.3% with a 95% confidence interval not entirely between 0 and 3%; suppressed due to extreme sampling variability. |
| AI | Adequate Intake |
| AMDR | Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range |
| CDRR | Chronic Disease Risk Reduction |
| d | Day |
| DFE | Dietary folate equivalent |
| DRI | Dietary Reference Intake |
| EAR | Estimated Average Requirement |
| g | Gram |
| kcal | Kilocalorie |
