Red meat & nutrition
 
Red meat is one of the best sources of 5 essential nutrients Red meat (beef, veal, lamb and mutton) is an important source of top quality nutrients (iron, zinc, omega-3, B vitamins and protein) Consumed 3 times a week by most Australians, red meat plays an important role in the Australian diet – it is the largest contributor of readily available iron and zinc and the second largest contributor of omega-3, after fish. Consuming red meat 3 to 4 times a week makes it easy to meet your iron and zinc needs. With less than 4% saturated fat, trimmed red meat has the Heart Foundation’s Tick of Approval.
