© Bryan Eneas/CBC Health Canada is proposing mandatory front-of-package nutrition labelling for foods high in sodium, sugar and saturated fat. Ranchers are criticizing Health Canada over the agency's proposal to include ground beef products in a plan to introduce mandatory front-of-package nutrition labelling for foods high in sodium, sugar and saturated fat. Ground beef and ground pork would be included in this proposal because they are not a whole product. The association says while ground beef does contain saturated fat, it is a highly nutritious source of protein and nutrients. Lee, who ranches with his brother in southwest Saskatchewan, says putting a label on ground beef would harm the cattle industry.
