Better Food to Buy – Refrigerated and Frozen 1

A guide for choosing healthier refrigerated and frozen food.

Updated March 2016

2 Better Food to Buy – Refrigerated and Frozen

This list was created to help people choose healthier* perishable food and beverages. (Perishable

foods need to be stored in a refrigerator or freezer).

*Criteria for “Healthier” The food and beverages in this list meet the criteria for “Maximum Nutritional Value”. The

criteria for “Maximum Nutritional Value” are based on Nutrition Tools for Schools©

Standards and Workplace Nutrition Standards©. These nutrition standards were adapted

from the Ontario Ministry of Education’s School Food and Beverage Policy (P/PM

150). All items in this list meet or exceed the criteria for “Sell Most” in the P/PM 150

nutrition standards.

In addition to the criteria for “Maximum Nutritional Value”, other information has been

used to help consumers make healthier choices:

Fish: Information in the factsheet “A Guide to Eating Fish for Women, Children and

Families” was used to recommend fish from the “Safe to Eat Everyday (Very Low

Mercury)” and the “Safe to Eat Often (Low Mercury)” categories. Fish in the “Safe to

Eat sometimes (Medium Mercury)”, “Avoid or Eat Rarely (High Mercury)” and the

“Eco Unfriendly” categories have been excluded from this list. Visit Region of Waterloo

Public Health Nutrition page for more information.

Sugar: The World Health Organization has advised limiting added sugar to no more than 10

per cent of the total energy in the diet. Excessive sugar consumption is related to poor diet

quality and poor health outcomes.1 In 2014, Health Canada proposed changes to the core

nutrients declared in the Nutrition Facts Table. A value of 100 grams of sugar from all

sources would represent the Daily Value (DV). In the proposed change five grams of sugar

per serving is considered to be “a little” sugar, while 15 grams or higher is “a lot” of sugar.

Products such as yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese and soy/milk alternatives beverages were

assessed for sugar content. Items that contain five grams or less per serving are included,

items that have more than five grams but less than 15 grams of sugar are marked with an

asterisk* to note that they contain higher amounts of sugar. Food and beverages that

contain 15 grams of sugar or more per serving have been excluded from this list.

Recommendations from Eating Well with Canada’s Food

Guide A healthy eating pattern emphasizes vegetables, fruit, whole grains, low fat milk and milk

alternatives and lean meat and meat alternatives.

Canada's Food Guide recommends preparing food from scratch, using little or no added fat,

sugar or salt, whenever possible. Pre-prepared convenience foods, such as many of the

combination foods in this list, can be a part of a healthy eating pattern on occasion.

Combination foods in this list include: refrigerated and frozen entrées (meals), frozen pasta,

frozen pizza, frozen sandwiches, refrigerated and frozen soup and refrigerated and frozen

side dishes.

Canada’s Food Guide recommends having vegetables and fruit more often than juice. If

offering juice to children, choose pasteurized unsweetened 100% fruit juice and limit to 125

ml (1/2 cup) per day.


This list is not comprehensive list of all available food and beverage products and should be

used as a guide only. If a product is not listed here it may not have met the criteria, or it may

not have been reviewed.

This list is not intended to endorse any specific brands.

The food and beverages in this list were assessed based on each product’s suggested

serving listed in the Nutrition Facts Table. If the amount eaten or served is larger or smaller

than the amount listed in the product’s Nutrition Facts Table, then the product may no

longer meet the criteria for “healthier”.

Always read food labels as product composition may change without notice. If the

ingredients or composition of a product change, it may no longer meet the nutrition criteria

for “healthier”.

The food and beverage products listed are not guaranteed to be free of allergens.
