92% Lean Ground Beef Laura’s Lean Beef Laura’s 92% Lean Ground Beef has only 9 grams of fat. This is possible because Laura’s relies on leaner breeds of cattle like Limousin and Charolais, versus the popular Angus, and uses sustainable farming methods that yield exceptionally lean beef. The cattle are humanely raised, without growth hormones or antibiotics, and fed a vegetarian diet of grasses and grains. This results in beef so low
in fat that it meets the government’s definition for “lean”—less than 10 g fat, 4.5 g or less saturated fat, and less than 95 mg cholesterol per serving. Laura’s 92% Lean Ground Beef is available in prepackaged 4 oz servings, as fresh, pre-formed, readyto-cook patties, or as frozen patties. Laura’s Lean Beef products are available in more than 6,500 grocery stores nationwide. For more information, visit www.laurasleanbeef.com.
