Canned Meats
How to choose canned meats
Considerations
Choose by colour and cut: red corned beef for hash, white/brown luncheon meat for sandwiches, golden/brown braised pork for stews.
Considerations
Start with the sub-type: Tinned Meat holds true shelf-stable cans, while Meat or Meat, Seafood & Eggs may include chilled goods.
Considerations
Material matters: tin recycles well, while plastic trays suit pet pate but go in different waste.
Considerations
Decide if the product is for people or pets, as pet pate is not edible for humans.
