8 The Canadian Statesman, E depa rtment to set ground meat standard Hlealth and Welfare Minister Marc Lalonde has announced proposed man- datory microbial standards for grouad meat which, when enacted, will provide assurance to Canadians that the ground meat they buy is safe from harmful microbial contamination. When the standards are enacted into regulations, Canada will become one of the first countries to have mandatory national stan- dards for microbiological quality of ground mneat,Mr Lalonde said, The Health and Welfare Minister stressed the fact that the levels suggested for ground beef have deliberately been set to give a considerable margin of safety, recognizing the technical impossibility of providing ground beef or other uncooked food com- pletely free of bacteria.. The proposed standards are based on the evaluation by Health Protection Branch staff of resuits of a survey initiated last year to examine the microbiological content of ground beef on the Canadian market. They will be submitted shortly to other government bodies at the federal and provincial levels, as weill'as to con- sumers associations and industry, for consultation. Quitting smoking? Get the facts Smokers who întend to kick the habit should obtain as much available in- formation as possible before giving it a try, advises Health an d Welfare Canada, the federal government department that has been urging people ta quit 'the habit. According to the depart- ment, it's easier to quit if you have ahl the facts and "Pros" and "cons". There are, it argues, very few pros and very many cons. Countless studies have led to the conclusion that cigarette smroking is not only harmifuILjto the health, but contributes to mnany deaths as well. Smokers run a greater risk of lung cancer, chronic bronchitis and emphysema as well as premature heart attacks. Two recent publications that provide hints and in- formation on -smoking hazards and how to stop smoking are available from the department. One is a Smoking Self Testing Kit, the other is called "So - I'm Living Dangerously". Simply write to O.D. Lewis, Smoking and Health, Health and Welfare Canada, The Journal Building, Ottawa,, Ontario, KiA 1B6, requesting either one or both. Better dental care urged Common dental diseases constitute one of the major The department en- courages a dental care routine that becomes second nature for the entire family as the major factor towards healthy teeth.
