Buying it

Cooked, emulsified and cured, with a US standard of identity that is one of the most argued-over in 9 CFR part 319: it governs the added water, the fat, the binders and what may be called all beef. It is also the product that made the moisture-protein ratio a household regulatory concept.

What to read on the label. All beef, all meat and the unqualified version are three different things under the standard, not three marketing phrases.

This class does have a US standard of identity, which means the name on the pack is constrained by 9 CFR part 319 rather than left to the maker. The standard is linked above and is worth reading before deciding what the word promised you.

This is not a protected designation. The listing below is a product of this type, not a registered name. The register entries for this class are listed above and none of them is what is linked here.
