Red meat and the Heart Foundation Tick

Today, there is a wide choice of trimmed red meat cuts available in supermarkets and butcher shops. Research shows that most Australians either buy red meat trimmed or remove the fat if any before consumption.

The biggest determinant of fat content of red meat is the amount of fat trimmed. This means, when trimmed of visible fat, red meat has less than 4% saturated fat and earns the Heart Foundation Tick of approval.

Red meat contributes less than 10% of the dietary fat and saturated fat in the Australian diet but still provides a unique bundle of essential nutrients including:

• Iron
• Zinc
• Vitamin B12
• Omega 3s
• Protein
