What it is
Partially defatted chopped beef is a meat product made from beef trimmings and fat. The fat is removed through a process called defatting, leaving a leaner, chopped beef product. It is often used as a protein source in processed meat products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add partially defatted chopped beef to provide a lean protein source and texture in processed foods. It is commonly found in products like chili, soups, and other prepared meat dishes.
Health notes
Partially defatted chopped beef is considered a standard food ingredient and is not subject to specific FDA regulations as a food additive. It is a source of protein and other nutrients found in beef. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated this ingredient in isolation, as it is a basic foodstuff.
Allergen info
Partially defatted chopped beef is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
