How many cans, jars and packs?

How it works

Your household's daily energy comes from SupKit's figures for each age band, the same as the app. The calculator takes the share you choose and divides it by the energy in one pack, rounding up.

Energy per pack comes from SupKit's catalogue estimates. SupKit estimate

Allergies, dietary needs and children

Plan around everyone at home: allergies, intolerances and diets come first, and familiar food matters most for children. Recipes vary between brands, so always read the label of the product you buy.

• Canada names 11 priority allergens: eggs, milk, mustard, peanuts, crustaceans and molluscs, fish, sesame, soy, sulphites, tree nuts, and wheat and triticale.²
• Packaged foods must declare priority allergens and gluten sources by plain source names in the ingredient list, a 'Contains' statement, or both.³
• Companies may add a 'May contain' warning for possible cross-contamination; it is not a substitute for good manufacturing practices.³

Young children

• Health Canada says peanuts and other nuts, seeds, popcorn and hard candies are not safe for children under four.⁴
• Never give any kind of honey to babies under one, including in food, water, formula or on a soother.⁵
• Prepare food for young children with little or no added salt or sugar.⁴
