Description

Regardless of brand, we recommend 93-95% lean ground meat as category 4 and 96% lean or better ground meat as category 1. However, if you are unable to find any ground meat that is 93% or better, you may use Laura's Lean 92% ground beef since the listed nutrition for this beef works out okay and in some markets this may be all that you can find. Keep in mind that a label for 92% lean ground meat may show similar nutrition to a label for 93% lean ground based on FDA allowances in nutrition labeling and the rounding rules that a particular company uses, but they are not the same. This is why we'd prefer you stick with 93% lean or better and also why Laura's Lean 92% lean ground beef has a lower WLM. Other 92% lean ground meats will not be approved.
