The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) has turned to social media to enlist public support for its campaign against warning labels on ground beef and pork that Health Canada has proposed.
CCA says Health Canada is being inconsistent by proposing a warning label on ground beef, which is a natural whole food offering vital nutrients, including fats. At the same time, some highly processed, sugary and high in saturated fat foods like soda, chips and cookies are exempt from Health Canada’s labels.
It also says no other country has required single-ingredient products like beef to have warning labels. If Health Canada succeeds with its label, Canada will be the only jurisdiction in the world to place a health-warning label on ground meat.
