Look
for:
'Lean' mince, 'trim lamb', 'lean beef'.
The claim 'lean' is only legally defined for mince which
must have <10% fat. The Australian Meat & Livestock
Commission defines 'Lean Beef' and 'Trim Lamb' as special
trimmed cuts with <10% fat.General descriptive claims
like 'premium' or 'trimmed' could mean anything.
Avoid Marbled Meat
Be on the lookout for fat spread throughout meat (marbling)
as you can't cut this off. Trim visible fat off all meats;
chicken can be cooked with the skin to retain moisture which
can then be removed at the table.
