What it is
Grass-fed beef comes from cattle that have eaten grass and other forage for their entire lives. Unlike conventionally raised cattle, they are typically not fed grains like corn or soy. This diet can affect the nutritional profile and flavor of the beef.
Why it's used
Beef is a primary protein source in many dishes. Manufacturers use it in products like jerky, snack bars, and sausages. Its savory flavor and texture are highly valued in a wide range of foods.
Health notes
Grass-fed beef is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein, iron, and B vitamins. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated beef as a food product. Some studies suggest grass-fed beef may have a different fatty acid profile compared to grain-fed beef, with potentially higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, but more research is needed to confirm consistent health benefits.
Allergen info
Beef is not one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
