What it is

Beef brisket is a cut of beef from the breast or lower chest of a cow. It is known for its toughness and fat content, which can make it flavorful when cooked properly. Brisket is often slow-cooked, braised, or smoked to tenderize the meat.

Why it's used

Beef brisket is used as a primary protein in many dishes, especially in barbecue. It can be found in prepared meals, jerky, and deli meats. Manufacturers use it for its rich flavor and texture, often seasoning it with spices and sauces.

Health notes

Beef brisket is a source of protein, iron, and B vitamins. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not specifically regulate beef brisket as an additive. Like other red meats, high consumption has been linked to increased risk of certain chronic diseases in some studies, while other research suggests moderate intake can be part of a healthy diet. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meat as carcinogenic to humans, but the evidence for unprocessed red meat is less conclusive. JECFA and EFSA have not evaluated beef brisket as a food additive.

Allergen info

Beef brisket is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
