A new set of proposed healthy-eating guidelines that may impact sales of milk and cheese in Canada has the nation’s dairy farmers concerned.
Health Canada, the nation’s department of public health, entered a consultation in February for front-of-package labeling, reported The Western Producer. Part of the proposed guidelines includes“placing new warning labels on the front of products sold in Canada for foods that are high in saturated fats, sugars, and sodium.”
