Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos announced the finalized Front-of-Package labelling regulations today, which are part of the Government of Canada’s Healthy Eating Strategy. In the finalized regulations, ground pork and ground beef are exempt from the requirement of having a front-of-package warning label.

Saskatchewan's pork producers are calling on the federal government to follow the lead of other countries and exempt ground pork and beef from proposed front-of-package labeling that would require symbols indicating products are high in fat, sugar or sodium.
