SYMBOL LEGEND 'E' Estimates with a coefficient of variation (CV) from 16.6% to 33.3%; interpret with caution. <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. NOTES FOR SPECIFIC NUTRIENTS Folacin: There are two chemical forms in foods that contribute to folate bioactivity: naturally occurring folate called “food folate” and the added synthetic form of folate called “folic acid”. The term “folacin” is a measuring unit referring to the simple arithmetic sum of the content of both food folate and folic acid in foods (in micrograms). Iron: Iron inadequacy was estimated using the full probability method as described in section 2.3.4 of the Methodology Document available at: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/food-nutrition-surveillance/health-nutrition-surveys/canadian-community-health-survey-cchs/compendium-data-tables-intakes-energy-nutrients-other-food.html Linolenic acid: Linolenic acid is an alternative name for a-linolenic acid (n-3). Moisture: The term “moisture” includes water from all food and beverage sources. Protein: Although DRIs for protein have been established on a “per kg body weight” basis, no DRIs have been established for the absolute amount of protein. Total dietary fibre: Although the Institute of Medicine has established an Adequate Intake (AI) for total dietary fibre, no comparison is presented in the table (IOM, 2005). In addition to the fact that the AI for any nutrient has limited uses in assessing groups (Health Canada, 2017), the AI for dietary fibre was determined in relation to coronary heart disease risk. Health Canada’s definition for dietary fibre recognizes the role that fibre plays in supplying fermentation products to colonocytes and on laxation. (Health Canada, 2010) No DRIs have been established for these effects. For more information on the methods used to analyze dietary fibre for this survey, please refer to the Canadian Nutrient File – Users Guide available at: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/healthy-eating/nutrient-data/canadian-nutrient-file-compilation-canadian-food-composition-data-users-guide.html References: IOM (Institute of Medicine).

The UL for vitamin A applies to preformed vitamin A only, and those estimates had not yet been conducted at the time these tables were produced.
