VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Improved calorie labeling is “live” at all 7-Eleven stores across Canada, with calorie counts now on price tags and menu boards for non-packaged food and beverage products, including hot and cold beverages, crispy chicken, hot foods and fresh bakery products.

7-Eleven Canada was quick off the mark voluntarily posting calorie labels nationwide on September 1, 2016. The introduction of Canada-wide calorie labels coincides with the lead-up to Ontario's new menu labeling requirements in the New Year. 7-Eleven Canada chose to move with early implementation and extend this nutritional information to its customers across the country.

"7-Eleven Canada is committed to providing our customers with the information they need to make more informed choices," says Raj Kapoor, vice president and general manager, 7-Eleven Canada. "We're proud to take a leadership role to be among the first retailers to implement calorie menu labeling in Canada."

7-Eleven Canada has gone above and beyond Ontario's menu labeling regulations, having also posted a Nutrition Quick Reference Guide in stores to provide customers with comprehensive information on calories and 13 core nutrients for more than 300 food and beverage entries.
