Fat is present in many foods and can be visible or invisible. Visible fat includes trimmable fat on meat and under the skin of chicken. Invisible fat refers to the fat used in processing or preparation of foods (for example, potato chips, muffins, french fries, etc), as well as the fat we add to our food (for example, butter and margarine to breads and vegetables, cream sauces on pasta, and dressing on salads).

CONT

All fresh pork cuts, except spare ribs, qualify as "lean" when trimmed of visible fat: that is, they contain less than 10% fat.
