2021 to 2022: 3rd quarter (October, November, December 2021)
Table of contents
Overview
- Nutrition North Canada (NNC) provided over $35 million in subsidy during October, November, and December 2021. This represents a decrease of 4% compared to the same period last year.
- Due to COVID-19, and the pressures the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns brought onto the supply chain and communities, NNC received $25 million in extra funding to increase two subsidy rates (medium and high) and allow all NNC communities to access goods usually reserved for air-only communities. These products are now open to all communities and are no longer tracked as an individual category.
- The program now subsidizes personal hygiene products and household cleaning essentials.
- The highest subsidy level, or the targeted subsidy, accounted for 15% of total subsidy spending this quarter. The level targets frozen fruits, frozen vegetables, fresh milk and infant formula/food.
- The ten foods subsidized at the program's medium level accounted for 77% of subsidy - all fresh fruits, meat, all fresh vegetables, frozen potato products, poultry, yogurt, bread, eggs, unsweetened juice (containers of 250ml and less), and UHT milk.
- The top foods subsidized at the program's lowest level accounted for about 8% of the subsidy – pizza, unsweetened juice (containers of more than 250 ml), ice cream, fresh and frozen combination foods, and canned vegetables.
Data by product category
This table shows the amount of subsidy that was distributed by product category between October 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, and the quantity of products that were subsidized during this period. Product categories are listed in descending order based on the amount of subsidy. The category that received the highest amount of subsidy is listed first, followed by the category that received the second highest amount of subsidy, and so on. Numbers in the table are preliminary. Values are subject to change.
