Is using continue label or break label good practice?

One typical case where I end up with at least labeled break is in a switch. For example:

loop:
for item := range someChan {
    switch item.Type {
        case typeA:
            // something something
        case typeB:
            // something something, we should stop processing for some reason
            break loop        
    }
}

Without the label, break breaks the switch. Similar of course for for-in-for but then you can always argue that it could be refactored to avoid so I’m not going to use that as an example.
