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.
todayshaiku Well, that was quite fast, What’s really needed these days? Liberal alerts.
It made no sense
Because your beef you buy in the STORES is loaded with things you don’t wanna know about. I been buying my beef from a farmer for a number of years!
Health Canada is a joke
Enjoying my delicious burger right now
Good. This was a ridiculous notion
Plant based diet causes me inflammation
As a meat eater and at 82 and 83 this Month certainly helped me get to my age! Salute goes to farmers, workers and now thanks to Health Canada for this decision! Have a Barbecue like I will be having today! Happy JulyFirst! Love Sobeys Ground Chuck bacon cheese ones!
LOL, and the Canadian Food Guide is a joke. Bread and dairy, 2 things that are a lot worse for you, are ok, but not meat? Ya, ok. Sugary cereal marketed toward children are also fine? Health Canada is a joke.
Wow, hard to believe they changed their minds. Health Canada is not to be trusted. They're corrupt in so many ways, just as bad as the FDA and FTC in the States.
Post is an American owned Conservative run rag that employs talentless hacks pushing a Conservative agenda pandering to the most uneducated base!
So you are confirming what we already knew about ground beef?
GenevoMundi Cuz it’s fucking stupid that’s why. Read the ingredients of beyond meat. That shit is toxic
The liberals are a globalist government trying to control the people by banning meat
They won't put a warning on poison cereal marketed toward children but they wanted to slap one on fucking beef? Lol.
Good, the Liberals can back off. I want to eat whatever I want to eat - if you don't like it, too damn bad.
😷
CarolHusband Health Canada. 😂
It's not a matter of backing down it was a reality - how the fck did they screw this up in the 1st place!!!! Oh ya Gov't agency 🐂💩
Meat is good. Eat more meat. That’s my label
1 down 763 to go
Common sense prevailed!!
Proposterous idea to begin with. What soy sucking, organic veggie eater thought that up?
They should put warning labels on ground Impossible meat, because that stuff is nasty.
Good
So that was easy, we need to apply the same principal to Trudeau.
Our government listens to real Canadians. It's true. Conservatives aren't that.
Just be quiet and eat your bugs
I should hope so. Dumb shits!
They should make liberals wear a warning label 🏷
Good
Even Health Canada has been corrupted with JustinTrudeau wokeism.
Good. It was an udderly dumb idea to begin with.
Good but I would have bought it anyway.
Should put health labels on covid vaccines Canada as become a complete joke 🤣🤣
They should put warnings on voters ballots regarding the Libtard government and how's it dangerous to your health.
Real meat is a super food.
Meat is the best thing for you .
They better. Otherwise all of the Govt is working against Canadian industries. Someone remind them of who pays their wages. And Funds the Country.
why? its proven that red meat causes heart disease and kidney stones
Thanks to the meat lobby who probably donated several million to a liberal foundation.
So it was complete bullshit and not needed if critical people stoped it. So it had nothing to do with health at all just politics.
About time.
Psyop. They say something then back down, then next year they unexpectedly make changes. LOL!
Everything Canadian is now first filtered through a political lens. Or five.
Good. Labelling fresh unpreserved ground meat as unhealthy while not labelling tons of other unhealthy stuff as unhealthy was completely unjustified.
What was the warning? Package contains something you can't afford
? Clarificaion? No one was being told not to eat ground beef, just a (very bad at that) fat warning. John Barlow is the MP glad handing all the Coutts blockaders and best buds with those plotting to kill RCMP. So eat beef, just don't support the seditionist CPC
Good, it was fucking stupid.
Soft. We need labels on food. NeverVoteConservative NeverVoteppc
this was completely fucking bullshit from the beginning, simply to serve an idealistic liberal agenda that meat causes environmental damage...get the goddamn libs out already! i'm guessing most canadians were against this.
👏
“The Liberals have finally admitted what producers, farmers, and Conservatives have been saying all along — ground beef and pork are affordable and nutritious sources of protein in a healthy diet,”
Wow they actually reversed it, good! This was non sense and hurt the farmers internationally. Wasted money
This is bs. Every day we go farther back.
Is anyone shocked? What is the pharmaceutical & BigAg GDP selling antibiotics to Animals? BeanBurgers JessLReid CamilleLabchuk nutrition_facts Health PlantBased
Good, this was the dumbest idea ever.
A Liberal misstep in their quest to have all us proles eating insects.
idiotic policy
Not sure why they wanted to do this at all other than the fact we have Bill Gates trying his best to get people to eat bugs.
Now. If they could just be that sensible on another issue. Yes. Peaceful Truckers were right. 99.98% of the unvaxed are not in hospital, about the same as the vaxed.
They won't get back the trust and credibility they lost over this ridiculous idea. Hard to take a warning lable on beef and not the slurpee machine at the corner store.
The cry babies win.
White whining wins again!
Good. Bastardi
