    Looks very lean . Can’t say for sure but it looks right

    That doesn’t look like 95% to me

    Could be. But why would you want to go less than 15% (or 20%)? Makes for some very dry burgers/tacos/meatballs/everything.

  4. None of us can tell you if it’s exactly 6%, but it does look very lean.

    Former butcher here. This is rather lean for sure. I’d be comfortable with the 5% fat statement.

    You are going to have to cook some and measure the results.

    Its obviously lean. Why does it matter how far under 9% fat?
