Re:USDA Descriptions of Meat

Trimmed to 0 fat means they cut all the fat from the outside of the piece

of meat. I'm not sure about separable- that might mean, actually, just

that it is the portion of meat which is easily separated from the rib

bones. My husband is a chef with a butcher's license, but he is at work

and busy currently- I can try to remember to ask him later if no one else

knows the answer. Bison in Kentucky is all grass fed afaik, so the

grocery butcher may be right that there aren't feedlot bison in your

area.

I did a more thorough internet search and found two sources for " separable

lean " . This

seems to mean that a consumer with a steak would eat the steak carefully and cut

away

any pieces of the fat inside the meat that could possibly be found. As one link

says, this

represents a " careful consumer " trying to cut down on fat intake.

If you follow more WAPF eating approach where you do eat the fat on the inside

of the

meat, even if your butcher trims the fat from the outside, then you should

disregard any nutritional information marked " separable lean " only. For me, I am

going to use the caloric

values for beef when eating bison and just treat any extra calories I do not eat

as bonuses.
