Beef must contain at least 35% beef to be called beef in the states. That is the level of regulations they had, so now? Does beef need any cow?

[โ€“] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Your beef can legally contain mostly not beef?

Mine?! Oh don't put that evil nationality on me. But yes the fools in the states seem to require that something called beef needs to be comprised of at least 35% cooked beef

Kinda disingenuous as the list you linked is for prepared meals like beef dumplings. In what world would you consider that product to be 100% beef? lol

Ah yes, it is I and the rest of the world that is crazy. When we ask for "beef" dumplings we clearly only want at least 35% beef inside....

Oh and for our Beef and gravy as well:

Well... yeah? I mean think about what a dumpling is, how much flour and water it takes to make? I don't understand your point?

[โ€“] M0oP0o@mander.xyz -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

35% is low, and prepared meals include things like "beef taco filling" or "dumpling filling". You seem to think there is only 35% and 100%. Unless you are being disingenuous.

Where did I write that? FDA is saying, hey, if you make a product that is full of ingredients other than beef, but you want to call/name it a 'beef' product, it must be at least 1/3 beef. I don't see anything wrong with that - sorry.

[โ€“] lowspeedchase@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

...lol so no answer then. ๐Ÿ‘‹

That was you. That is a quote from you when you stated that 100% was what I expected (I did not say that).
