% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Ground beef is a significant source of high-quality protein, essential vitamins, and minerals such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. According to Healthline, its highly bioavailable heme iron helps prevent iron deficiency anemia and supports muscle growth, though it also contains varying amounts of fat, including saturated fat. High consumption of red meat may be associated with increased risks of heart disease and cancer, and ground beef production presents a public health concern due to potential *E. coli* contamination, as noted by PubMed.
