What it is

Beef fat is the fat rendered from cattle. It is obtained by heating the fatty tissues of beef to separate the fat from other components. This process results in a solid or semi-solid fat at room temperature.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use beef fat to add flavor, improve texture, and act as a cooking medium in various food products. It is commonly found in savory dishes, baked goods, and fried foods, contributing to richness and mouthfeel.

Health notes

Beef fat is a source of saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. FDA considers beef fat a traditional food ingredient. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not basic food ingredients like beef fat.
