Your after-tax results also depend on your province of residence.

Cholesterol: "Low cholesterol" means no more than 20 milligrams per serving and should be limited to 300 milligrams per day. Sodium: "Low sodium" means less than 140 milligrams per serving and should be limited to 2,400 milligrams per day. Dietary fiber: A "high-fiber" food means there are 5 grams or more per serving. A food that is considered a "good source" of fiber has 2.5 grams to 4.9 grams per serving.
