What is an in-store taste test?
An in-store taste test is something you can do at your local store to give people a chance to try new foods, and learn why some choices are healthier than others.
Having taste-tests in grocery stores helps people to make better food choices.
Will my community store mind if I do this?
We suggest you go to the stores in your community and ask the store manager if you can do a taste test in the store. Most Nunavut stores will have a table and a Taste Test Kit. The Government of Nunavut has been working together with them on this project.
Where can I get funding to do in-store taste tests?
First, contact your sponsoring agency (in most communities, this is your Hamlet), and see if they have funding to support this activity.
If there is funding for taste tests, check the prices of the ingredients to make sure you stay within your budget.
If you have questions about taste tests, or need help with planning this activity, contact your Regional Nutritionist. If you need help finding funding options, contact the Regional Wellness Programs Coordinator.
About In-Store Taste Tests
How should I plan a taste test with my community store manager?
» Always o�er the same programming to each of the food stores in your community. If your community has more than one store, you can switch which store you do your taste tests in each month. Or you can do two taste tests per month; one in each store.
• Talk to the store manager at least two weeks before you plan on doing the taste test. Ask he or she which day and time would work best
• Let them know which products you want to display
» The store manager will take care of ordering in special products, and will work with you to decide how much needs to be ordered (both for your taste test, and to put on the shelves to sell).
» Talk to the store manager about the table and the Taste Test Kit. Make sure you both have a plan for who is responsible for cleaning the items, and who you should return them to.

GN Guidelines
Guidelines for Foods and Beverages for GN-Funded Community
Health Programs Your community program, funded by the Government of Nunavut, should provide the best foods available to support the health of your community and to provide examples of healthy choices at every event. These guidelines follow the Nunavut Food Guide and describe the Government of Nunavut’s expectations for foods served in your programs.
1. Serve country foods as often as you can. You can purchase these
through local hunters and other food sharing networks OR you can purchase them commercially.
2. At the store or on sea lift, purchase nutritious foods from the four food groups on the Nunavut Food Guide. Examples are below.
3. Unhealthy foods cannot be purchased with GN health funds. See page 2 of these guidelines.
Drinks: • Make water or milk your program’s main drinks.
• Limit juice to two times per week. Serve only 100% pure juice (NOT made from powder, and not fruit drinks, punches, or cocktails). Servings are ½ cup.
• DO NOT serve tea or coffee to children.
Meals and Snacks: Snacks should have 1 or 2 food groups. Examples are:
• Fruit and yogurt • Dried meat and fruit • Crackers and cheese • Toast and milk • Vegetables and cottage cheese
Meals should have 3 or 4 food groups. Examples are:
• Meat sandwich, yogurt, carrot sticks
• Noodles, tomato meat sauce, milk • Stew with meat and vegetables,
bannock and yogurt. • Cereal, milk and frozen berries • Toast, boiled egg, fruit

GN Guidelines
ü Healthy Food Ideas
Country foods are VERY healthy choices • Your program funding can be used to buy country food. • Serve country food often. • Fresh, frozen, dried or cooked are all great choices.
Grains group • Whole grain bread • Whole grain crackers • Rice cakes • Unsweetened breakfast cereals • Baked bannock – try replacing half
the flour with whole wheat flour
Fruits and vegetables ALL are good choices: • Canned • Fresh • Frozen • Dried Try something new!
Milk group • Skim, 1% or 2% milk (powdered, UHT
or fresh are all good choices) • Yogurt • Cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar) • Cottage cheese
Meat group • Fresh or frozen meat or fish • Sliced sandwich meat (like ham, turkey
or chicken – not bologna, Klik, or other processed meats)
• Eggs • Canned tuna or salmon (packed in
water) • Canned beans in tomato sauce • Nuts or nut butters (like peanut butter
or almond butter)
“Unhealthy foods” cannot be purchased
with GN program funds
