better than safeway
i use this for mariana sauce or Thai pad kra pao. Came out fine. I prefer this over Safeway. Edible and taste like lean beef. Not sure what cut of meat was used in the ground, but I'm glad for it to to be 96% lean. Wish there was a 100% lean option

Gave me the ick
Bought this meat for the first time.. checked the date before I bought it and it was good. Like others have said it does have a weird hard texture and took forever to cook.. couldn’t even eat more than a few bites but sure wish I never ate it… now sick with food poisoning….

Highly Reccommend, Especially For Those in a Calorie Deficit
This beef has helped me lose 40 lbs and it really tastes so good. I pair it homemade taco seasoning and add water so it's never dry! I also add it to pasta sauce, and it's always super yummy and low calorie!

Product weight frequently inacurate
The weight of the product consistently falls short of what is indicated on the package. I bought several packages that were missing up to 1 ounce.
1 reply from Laura's Lean team - 1 year ago
Hi, Bruno, and thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. We are sorry to hear that some of your packages of ground beef weighed a little less than a pound. We do take steps to ensure the integrity of product weight. There are consistent and regular checks on all scale equipment used in our production facilities. Our scales are the best in the industry and are calibrated to precise and exacting standards. The checks by USDA are done on the product at the plants and on the product once it reaches the stores. The compliance standards are such that a .25 oz variance +/- is allowed on packages. There is one other consideration that needs to be mentioned, the nature of meat is such, that as the product ages and as it is moved and jostled during transport, it loses some of its liquid. This is called purge. The purge contributes to the true weight of the meat and is trapped in the pad usually found under the meat. To get a true weight, you must also weigh the purge. We would like the chance to talk with you further about your experience. Would you be willing to email us at customers@lauraslean.com? This way, we can learn more and help make it right. We care about you and appreciate you as a customer. We hope to hear from you soon.

Always fresh!
I like this because it is extremely low in fat and it is always fresh. I divide up the package and freeze some and it always weighs exactly 16 oz. The people complaining should go back to buying meat with more fat content.

Whats up with this meat
So dry and takes a while to cook, pink inside.
1 reply from Laura's Lean team - 1 year ago
Hi, Dee. Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. One of the characteristics of lean beef is that it cooks faster than normal commodity beef. Without the additional fat found in most meats, our beef typically cooks in 1/3 less time compared with high-fat commodity beef. Cooking past medium can lead to a decrease in moisture and a less tender texture. By avoiding cooking past medium the natural juices will be retained, which leads to both a more juicy and flavorful experience. Depending on how hot the grill or skillet was, it's very possible that the inside just did not cook as quickly as the outside did, resulting in an undercooked middle. We would like to know more about your experience and we would like to give you a chance to try the product again. Please reach out to us at customers@lauraslean.com with your mailing address so we can send you a voucher. We value you as our customer and want to talk with you. It really matters to us. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Would not cook!
I used this meat to make burgers and even though I almost burned them, they were bright pink inside. Raw or maybe filled with something that was pink? Would not recommend.

Gross!
The worst ground beef I’ve ever had. It had hard pieces of cartilage in it. I gave the rest to my dogs and one threw it up. Disgusting.

American raised beef! The best
Delicious! Absolutely the leanest ground beef available. The people complaining about the taste is because it has no chemicals and very little fat which is what is healthy to eat for you and your family. So many people consume the less expensive with tons of fat. So not good for anyone. I will say switching over to Laura’s and another brand of real American raised beef took a while. Most meat sold in stores now are from SAmerica and packaged here. Laura’s is American raised and packaged with no hormones or other chemicals. Read what is good for your family and switch over. You won’t be sorry

Meat is tough and no grease at all. I have never had lean beef that doesn't have a little bit of grease still. Wasn't tasty at all.
