Lean mince

[Estrella]

Can someone tell me if Aberdeen Angus beef lean mince from m&s is syned? It shows on the calculator as 2.5 per 100g is this correct? I know sometimes it shows free food syns. Or does it has to be extra lean!? I've defrosted some and don't want to waste it! Grr. Thanks.

Hi, hope it's not too late, but unless it is extra lean then it does have syns in it and 2.5 would be about right, but to be honest I wouldn't worry too much if you drain the fat off once it it browned. I lost 2 1/2 stone before doing this as extra lean is hard to come by and very expensive. Hope this helps,
