Lean beef is part of a healthy diet.
Canadians can rest assured their enjoyment of red meat doesn’t need to change anytime soon despite the predictions of a new US study suggesting harm from eating large amounts.
The new study, published today, suggests eating high amounts of red meat are associated with increased risk of death from cancer and heart disease, but the results have little significance to Canadian meat eaters.

Prepared Meats - Just Like Home-Made, But More Convenient.
James Careless, Western Grocer - Meat Department (Nov/Dec)
Today's prepared, pre-spiced meats give Canadians the best of both worlds. Today’s grocery shoppers want prepared
foods that are tasty, healthy, and as close
to homemade as possible. Bridging the gap
between home-style goodness and deli
counter convenience are the now vast
selection of prepared meats that can be
found in most delis, whether pre-marinated,
pre-cut or portioned, stuffed or spiced.

Putting Salt in it's Place
Food In Canada Magazine

Food producers
are turning to
reformulation and
salt replacers to
voluntarily cut
sodium from their
products, before it
becomes mandatory.
Health Canada is serious about salt — reducing
the amount consumed by Canadians, that is.
Last February, the agency began releasing label
data and draft sodium targets for many foods, with more
products being added to the list all the time. And in partnership
with the food industry, Health Canada is also
helping consumers make healthier choices through the
launch of the Nutrition Facts Education Campaign.

Paul Peachey on the freak weather and rising demand that have driven costs sky-high.
The Independant, UK
After a series of natural calamities and poor harvests, the price of spices from ginger to nutmeg have
rocketed in one of the hidden stories of global food inflation. Traders and brokers reported prices of

manufacturers and consumers.
