Beef producers are mounting opposition to a Health Canada proposal to label ground beef sold in stores as high in saturated fat. The proposal is part of an upcoming policy requiring warning labels on foods high in saturated fat, sugars, and sodium.
Jennifer Babcock, senior manager of government relations for the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, says discussions on the labelling proposal began in 2018 but the decision not to exempt ground beef was made apparent in March of this year.
