A corrigendum on
Examining the diet quality of Canadian adults and the alignment of Canadian front-of-pack labelling regulations with other front-of-pack labelling systems and dietary guidelines

by Lee, J. J., Ahmed, M., Julia, C., Ng, A. P., Paper, L., Lou, W. Y., and L'Abbé, M. R. (2023). Front Public Health. 11:1168745. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1168745

In the published article, there was an error in Table 3 as published. Incorrect values were entered into the “discordant pairs” and “weighted k” columns. The corrected Table 3 and its caption “Agreement between quintile combinations of computed Canadian Front-of-pack labelling and other dietary index systems” appear below.

Table 3. Agreement between quintile combinations of computed Canadian Front-of-pack labelling and other dietary index systems.

In the published article, there was an error during the revision process. The weighted k statistic results were incorrectly represented. A correction has been made to Results, Relationship between Dietary Index Systems, Paragraph 2. This sentence previously stated:

“The CAN-FOPL dietary index scores showed slight agreement with the DCCP and the Nutri-score (k = 0.30–0.38) with over 65% of the total sample identified as discordant pairs (i.e., “Less healthy” in one system and “More healthy” in another system).”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“The CAN-FOPL dietary index scores showed fair agreement with the DCCP and the Nutri-score (k = 0.30–0.38) with over 65% of the total sample identified as discordant pairs (i.e., “Less healthy” in one system and “More healthy” in another system).”

The authors apologize for the error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
