actually:
'The USDA defines "lean ground beef" as containing less than 10 grams of total fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, and 95 milligrams of cholesterol per 100 grams (3.5 ounces) serving.'
basically also labelled as 90/10 - which is the meat/fat, by weight.
USDA also has rules about "retained water" in ground beef (and others . . .)
because "grinding beef" generates heat, without 'extra cooling' the fat in the grind will melt.
ice was popular once, but more stringent & better 'inspections' have resulted in producers using 'dry ice' for cooling, as the CO2 evaporates and doesn't make a mess of the 'retained water' issue.
none of which applies to Canada.
