Una escena vibrante e informativa en una bulliciosa sección de carne de supermercado. Los estantes están bordeados de varios paquetes de 'Carn Picada', que muestra una variedad de etiquetas coloridas. En primer plano, un comprador examina un paquete etiquetado como 'Roler Preparat de Carn de Boví', con una expresión preocupada, destacando la advertencia prominente sobre aditivos y bajo contenido de carne. Cerca, se muestran otros paquetes como 'Alipende Preparat de Carn de Boví' y 'Granja los Tilos Preparat de Carn Picada Anyell', cada uno con gráficos llamativos pero indicaciones sutiles de su calidad cuestionable. En el fondo, se ve a un carnicero preparando hábilmente 'Carn Picada' fresco detrás de un mostrador de vidrio, enfatizando el contraste entre fresco, 100% de carne y las opciones procesadas disponibles. La tienda está muy iluminada, con una mezcla de compradores, algunos que parecen intrigados por las etiquetas, mientras que otras entabla conversaciones sobre la calidad de los alimentos. Un letrer

The minced meat: a versatile and misleading ingredient

Minced meat is one of the most popular ingredients in kitchens around the world, essential for the creation of dishes such as burgers, meatballs and fillings. However, its presence in supermarkets hides a lesser -known reality that can surprise many consumers.

OCU revelations: What is hidden behind the packaging?

A recent study by the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has uncovered a number of unpleasant surprises in terms of the quality of minced meat available in the market. Many of the packaged options are not what they look like, as they often include additives, sulfites and thicknesses that alter their nature.

Meat preparations: more than simple minced meat

In several cases, what is sold as minced meat is merely a ‘meat preparation’, which can contain less than 80% of real meat. This misleading practice has been the subject of study and alert by the OCU.

The least recommended options: Which one to avoid?

The OCU study has identified brands that have received low quality scores. The best -rated product is the prepared role of beef, which stands out for a high additive content and a lower meat proportion. Other brands that have not passed the quality control are Alipend, family format (day) and Granja Los Tilos.

What to look for in a quality minced meat?

To ensure the purchase of a real minced meat product, it is essential to look for meat that is 100% pure, with a maximum of fat of 20%. It is important to avoid those products that incorporate additional ingredients such as flours or starch, as they can alter both the taste and the nutritional value.

The best option: fresh minced meat of the carnage

To ensure maximum freshness and quality, the OCU recommends buying minced meat directly at the butcher shop. Requesting you picked it is the best way to make sure that a product is being purchased without additives. In addition, it is vital to retain it properly and consume it within 24 to 48 hours.

Final reflections on the purchase of minced meat

Carefully choosing food products is essential to maintain a healthy diet. Although packaged minced meat may seem a convenient alternative, it is crucial to read the labels to avoid unpleasant surprises and guarantee the quality of what we consume. Transparency in the composition of food is key to making informed elections.
