Alberta beef producers take issue with Health Canada's labelling proposal
According to the Canadian Cattlemen's Association , Health Canada is proposing a food labelling change that will require ground beef sold in Canadian retail stores to carry a"high in" saturated fat warning label.
"It minimizes the nutritional value of beef and it will have negative impacts on consumers," she told CTV News in an interview this week. It said these labels would not be viewed as a warning but a quick way for Canadians to determine what is in their food. Wowk and the CCA both want those exemptions, which apply to raw whole cut beef products like steak, to be extended to all ground beef products.
