"96-4 is ground round, the leanest you can buy."

The more I read on this, the less I realize I know... 

However, as long as ground round has at a minimum of 70% lean and maximum 30% fat and comes from the round, then it is correctly labeled. It could also have 90% lean and 10% fat and still be labeled as ground round.

Thanks, Sparklite2.
