Common questions

Is Ground Beef healthy?

Ground Beef scores 97/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Ground Beef?

Ground Beef lists 1 ingredient, starting with Beef. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
