The fat content of minced beef in supermarkets
1997
Seaman, C.E.A. | Bower, J. | Farrell, K.
Evaluates the price and fat content of minced beef sold under a variety of labels at six major food retailers as apart of a small pilot study to establish whether increased produce price is associated with a leaner product and to establish the variation between products sold under a similar label. Results indicate that the increased price paid for minced beef sold as "steak mince", "lean mince" and "superlean mince" is generally associated with a decrease in fat content. However, identifies huge variation in the fat content of packets of minced beef sold under similar labels. Highlights the the implications of these results but further work, in which minced beef would be bought from different stores within each chain and on different days over a period of several months, would be required to establish whether these results were representative.
