Health Canada backs down from nutrition warning labels for ground meat after criticism

Health Canada will be exempting ground meat and poultry from the long-awaited stricter nutrition labelling regulations set to be in place by 2026, after previous consideration in the regulatory framework prompted fierce criticism from meat producers.

The new regulations will require that most foods that contain more than 15 per cent of the recommended daily intake of sodium, sugars or saturated fat be labelled as such with a new symbol containing a magnifying glass at the top right corner of the product.Article content There are however a number of exemptions, either because the foods have recognized health benefits or because they are already exempt from the nutrition facts table .Ground meats were originally considered under the policy since they are not exempt from providing a nutrition facts table like whole cuts of meat are. That decision left the meat industry scratching its head, since ground meat is a natural single-ingredient product just like meat cuts are.

Meat departments should be behind partitions so only meat eaters can enter them and see the mutilated cadavers for sale. Obscene. GO VEGGIE!

If we complain enough, can we make cigarettes “healthy” again?
