🥩 FYI: Did You Know There Are Different Types of Ground Beef?
Not all ground beef is the same! The Canadian market has four different categories based on maximum fat content:
🥩 EXTRA LEAN — Maximum 10% fat
A leaner choice for tacos, chili, sauces and everyday cooking.
🥩 LEAN — Maximum 17% fat
A great all-purpose option for burgers, meatballs, meatloaf, tacos and more.
🥩 MEDIUM — Maximum 23% fat
A little more fat means more moisture and flavour. Great for burgers, meatballs and meatloaf.
🥩 REGULAR — Maximum 30% fat
The highest-fat option, making it a great choice when you want juicy, flavourful burgers and plenty of moisture.
And what do we offer at your local Foodland? 👇
We carry REGULAR, LEAN & EXTRA LEAN Ground Beef, giving you options depending on what you’re making and your personal preference.
And one more thing that sets our meat department apart — we grind all of our beef right here in store. 🥩🔪
Freshly ground, right in our butcher department, with the same care and attention we put into all of our cuts.
More fat = more moisture & flavour.
Less fat = a leaner option.
Next time you’re shopping for ground beef, check the label — the difference is in the fat content!
