What You Should Know

You'll find this 93% lean / 7% fat ground beef in the refrigerated meat case or at the butcher counter—perfect for burger nights, tacos, or Sunday meal prep. It gives a practical, comforting, protein-forward vibe tied to home cooking and family dinners rather than ultra-convenience. With only “Beef” on the label and no additives, any processing is mechanical (grinding), so the product is minimally processed rather than ultraprocessed—texture comes from grinding rather than emulsifiers or fillers.
