100% Angus Burger

A "100% Angus Burger" refers to a burger patty made entirely from beef sourced from Angus cattle. Angus cattle are a breed known for producing well-marbled meat. The beef is typically ground and formed into a patty for cooking.

Angus burgers are primarily used as the main protein component in sandwiches, such as hamburgers and cheeseburgers. They are also found in various frozen appetizers and snack foods, providing a savory, meaty flavor and texture.

As a whole food, beef is not regulated by the FDA as an additive or GRAS substance. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified consumption of red meat, including beef, as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2A). This classification is based on limited evidence that red meat consumption may cause cancer in humans and strong evidence that it causes cancer in experimental animals. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend choosing a variety of protein foods, including lean meats, poultry, seafood, eggs, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
