When 5% fat mince is not 5% fat mince

Cook it let it go cold.

The fat will solidify on the top and is easy to remove.

If it is 5% fat there will be very little.

Bruce Lee died because he didn't have an ounce of fat on him. True.

Not helped by the fact he was eating extremely potent Nepalese hashish

I buy 5% mince because I don't like the taste of the fat. I bought some "5%" mince the other week and I could immediately tell that it was more than 5%. It could be that there has been a problem at the mince supplying factory that supplies all supermarkets, do 2 sisters food group process beef?

I just buy the 20% mince, and then drain off all the fat as it cooks.

Are you sure about that, some vegetarian and vegan foods have high fat levels e.g. Eggs 10%, avocados 15%, Brazil nuts 67%.

But not animal fat.

I know Slimming World advocate 5% mince but I've always bought 12%, dry fry it draining off any liquid before add the rest of the ingredients.

If you buy the veggie product, you'll be missing out on the best 95% as well

Is this a wind up? Do you even know what 5% would look like? You should get your facts straight before you come on here accusing a company without proof, that's called libel that could get you into trouble.


Wild guesses do not constitute proof, so you really need to get the proof before you accuse a company of misleading the public.

There is a difference in appearance - have a look next time you're in the supermarket - between the 5%, 12% & 20% fat mince.
