Food group
"Food group" means one of the four following categories of foods [B.01.500, FDR]:
- milk products and milk product alternatives such as fortified plant-based beverages;
- meat, poultry and fish, and alternatives such as legumes, eggs, tofu and peanut butter;
- bread and grain products; and
- vegetables and fruit.
These groups are similar to the four food groups presented in Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating.
For foods that do not fall within any of the four categories above, see Other foods (definition).
