You can't get much extra lean mince any more - no extra lean lamb is available and only a little extra lean pork. Beef is quite easy to get hold of though. To qualify as being Extra Lean it has to be less than 5% fat so check on the back. If you're not sure just post the nutritional info and someone can calculate it for you.
They did a News thing a couple of weeks ago:
"Recent research has shown that extra lean lamb, pork and turkey mince is no longer readily available in supermarkets.
If you come across a Food Optimising recipe that uses one of these extra lean minces and you’re unable to get hold of it, we recommend that you ask your butcher to mince very lean meat for you (with no skin if it’s poultry) or you mince your own at home. This way you can guarantee it’s Free!
Our database currently shows that there are no packs of extra lean lamb mince available in UK or Irish supermarkets and only the following turkey and pork mince:
Tesco Healthy Living Pork Mince, chilled, 500g pack
Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Free Range Turkey Mince, chilled, 500g pack
Fortunately extra lean beef mince is still readily available in all the major retailers."

Yep, that one's coming up as Free.
Can you still get it? Someone should tell SW and/or buy the entire shop full Yep, that one's coming up as Free.
Going to check in my Tesco on Monday to see if they stock this!
