Abstract
Health organizations have promoted the reduction of fat and cholesterol in the diet as a means of reducing cardiovascular heart disease and controlling obesity. Diets containing no more than 30% of their calories from fat are recommended. Many meat products with standards of identity, such as frankfurters and bologna, were regulated in the U.S. to the extent that their formulations were practically mandated. Maximum fat levels were set at 30% and added water at 10%. Most products in the market were very close to these levels due to cost and palatability considerations. Under these standards of identity meat products contained approximately 84% of their calories in the form of fat and at least 85% of the product had to be meat. The protein used to determine added water had to be of animal origin.
