The Zaycon 93/7 Super Lean Ground Beef Sale is now on, but will only be open for another two weeks – they won’t be back until Summer (last year’s Event was in July). Looks like most of the Chicago-area dates are early November with other Illinois locations occurring in the second and third weeks.
Zaycon ground beef is:
- LFTB Free (no pink slime)
- The beef cattle have a grass diet supplemented by grain after they reach approximately 700 pounds.
- There are no hormones or antibiotics in the beef: 100% grown in the USA.
- There are no chemicals, additives or water added to meat during processing.
- Processed at a USDA-inspected, state-of-the-art plant employing strict operating protocols (including HACCP) and the highest in food-safety standards
- Prior to processing, inspectors from the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service randomly sample cattle under a monitoring plan and perform testing for antibiotic residues.
- USDA nutrition labeling standards defines “extra lean” and “lean” ground beef based on the lean/fat ratio. While not part of these guidelines, the term “super lean” is often used in the grocery sector to describe ground beef at the upper end of the “lean” category (i.e., “ Zaycon Foods 93/7 Super Lean Ground Beef”). This ground beef product is 93% lean and 7% fat
- Comes in a 40-lb case with four 10-lb chubs per case
- Just $3.49/lb!
