Beef slices

Beef slices are cooked beef cut into slices. The figures here describe meat-only products, including topside and wafer-thin roasted beef. They mainly provide protein, with some fat and very little carbohydrate. Per 100g, they contain 25g of protein, 3.7g of fat, 1.6g of salt and 2.7mg of iron.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Iron helps the body make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Beef also provides vitamin B12, which supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, and amounts can vary between products. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
