What it is

Organic grass-fed beef comes from cattle that have been raised on a diet primarily consisting of grass and forage, and managed according to organic farming standards. These standards typically prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, and antibiotics in the animals' feed and environment.

Why it's used

Beef is widely used in packaged foods as a primary protein source and for its distinct flavor. It is a key ingredient in products like frozen dinners, sausages, hot dogs, and various prepared meat dishes. Manufacturers include it to provide satiety and contribute to the overall taste profile of the food.

Health notes

As a whole food, organic grass-fed beef is not regulated by the FDA as a food additive or GRAS substance. It is a source of protein, iron, and other essential nutrients. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified consumption of red meat as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2A). JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate whole foods like beef in the same way they assess food additives.
