On January 11th, 2024, the indicator, the proportion of Canadians aged 12 and older who “…consumed five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day” was changed to the proportion of Canadians aged 12 and older who “…reported eating fruits and vegetables five or more times per day” in Section 5.0 - Key findings.
