Food Source Contribution Table (2015 CCHS Nutrition)

The Food Source Contribution Table (FSCT) provides estimates of how much various food groups and subgroups contribute to Canadians’ intakes of energy and selected nutrients using data collected in the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) - Nutrition.

Two different datasets are available. The first file provides data for recipes as a whole along with food consumed on its own. The second file provides data for recipes broken down into their ingredients along with food consumed on its own.

Please note that the following estimates have been updated December 2024: Data for folate were revised based on updated calculation of Dietary Folate Equivalents (DFE) content of recipes in the nutrient database.

The User Guide and Food Group Lists provide detailed information to facilitate use of the FSCT.
