Only 30% Meat

This isn't for a Steinman greatest hits compilation...LOL

Just read this and nearly barfed

The minimum meat content of a pork sausage is only 42%. The equivalent figures for most other sausages are around 30%.

The definition of meat is based on new regulations which came into force in 2003. Broadly, pork can contain up to 30% fat and 25% connective tissue and still be described as meat. Beef and lamb meat can contain up to 25% fat and 25% connective tissue.

The minimum meat content of a burger is much higher at 67% (or 50% for economy burgers).

So use your loaf and check the meat content before buying.
