Aberdeen Angus Beef

Aberdeen Angus is a breed of beef cattle originating from the counties of Aberdeenshire and Angus in Scotland. It is known for producing high-quality, well-marbled beef with a rich flavour. The meat is typically sold as cuts or minced for various culinary uses.

As a primary ingredient, Aberdeen Angus beef is used in a wide range of dishes, particularly where a premium beef flavour is desired. It is commonly found in burgers, steaks, pies, and ready meals. Its rich taste and texture make it a popular choice for consumers seeking quality beef products.

Aberdeen Angus beef is a source of protein, iron, and B vitamins. Like all red meat, the NHS advises that consumption should be moderate as part of a balanced diet. High intakes of red and processed meat have been classified by the WHO/IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A). However, it is not a food additive and therefore does not have an E-number or specific regulatory evaluation by bodies like EFSA in that context.
