A single 24-h dietary assessment was completed at baseline for each child by one parent using the online Automated Self-Administered 24-h (ASA24) Dietary Assessment Tool 2016-Canadian version (National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD). The Canadian version of ASA24 calculates the nutrient profile of reported dietary intake using the Food Patterns Equivalents Database (FPED), Food and Nutrients Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS), and Canadian Nutrient File (CNF). Energy and nutrient intakes were screened for outliers using the adjusted box plot method [18 (link)] and implausible dietary intakes.
Total sugar and added sugar intakes were calculated by ASA24. FS intake was defined as added sugar plus sugar from 100% fruit juice (includes fruit juice concentrate diluted to single strength and fruit juice that is not from concentrate) [1 , 19 ]; and determined using a standardized and semi-automated stepwise approach as described in Additional File1 .
