Meat is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals in your diet. However, if you currently eat more than 90g (cooked weight) of red or processed meat a day, the Department of Health and Social Care advises that you cut down to 70g. Some meats are high in saturated fat, which can raise blood cholesterol levels if you eat too much of it. Making healthier choices can help you eat meat as part of a balanced diet. If you eat a lot of red or processed meat, it's recommended that you cut down as there is likely to be a link between red and processed meat and bowel cancer.

Food hygiene is important when storing, preparing and cooking meat. Meat and saturated fat Some meats are high in fat, especially saturated fat. Eating a lot of saturated fat can raise cholesterol levels in the blood, and having high cholesterol raises your risk of coronary heart disease. The type of meat product you choose and how you cook it can make a big difference to the saturated fat content. Make healthier choices when buying meat When buying meat, go for the leanest option. As a rule, the more white you can see on meat, the more fat it contains. For example, back bacon contains less fat than streaky bacon. These tips can help you buy healthier options: ask your butcher for a lean cut if you're buying pre-packed meat, check the nutrition label to see how much fat it contains and compare products go for turkey and chicken without the skin as these are lower in fat (or remove the skin before cooking) try to limit processed meat products such as sausages, salami, pâté and beefburgers, because these are generally high in fat – they are often high in salt, too try to limit meat products in pastry, such as pies and sausage rolls, because they are often high in fat and salt Cut down on fat when cooking meat Cut off any visible fat and skin before cooking – crackling and poultry skin are much higher in fat than the meat itself.

avoid adding extra fat or oil when cooking meat

roast meat on a metal rack above a roasting tin so the fat can run off try using smaller quantities of meat and replacing some of the meat with vegetables, pulses and starchy foods in dishes such as stews, curries and casseroles How much red and processed meat should we eat? Red meat (such as beef, lamb and pork) can form part of a healthy diet. But eating a lot of red and processed meat probably increases your risk of bowel (colorectal) cancer. Processed meat refers to meat that has been preserved by smoking, curing, salting or adding preservatives. This includes sausages, bacon, ham, salami and pâtés. If you currently eat more than 90g (cooked weight) of red or processed meat a day, the Department of Health and Social Care advises that you cut down to 70g. 90g is equivalent to around 3 thinly cut slices of beef, lamb or pork, where each slice is about the size of half a piece of sliced bread. A cooked breakfast containing 2 typical British sausages and 2 rashers of bacon is equivalent to 130g. For more information, read Red meat and the risk of bowel cancer.

Storing meat safely It's important to store and prepare meat safely to stop bacteria from spreading and to avoid food poisoning: store raw meat or raw poultry in clean sealed containers on the bottom shelf of the fridge, so the meat cannot touch or drip onto other food follow any storage instructions on the label and do not eat meat after its "use by" date store red meat or raw poultry in a freezer before its "use by" date if you cook meat that you're not going to eat straight away, cool it as quickly as possible and then put it in the fridge or freezer – remember to keep cooked meat separate from raw meat and only reheat cooked meat once always thoroughly clean plates, utensils, surfaces and hands straight away after they have touched raw or thawing meat using warm soapy water or disinfectant cleaning products Freezing meat safely It's safe to freeze raw meat providing that you: freeze it before the "use by" date date and label meat in the freezer, following any freezing or thawing instructions on the packaging defrost meat in the microwave, using the defrost setting, if you are going to cook it straight away thaw meat fully in a fridge, if you want to defrost it and cook it later – keep it in the fridge and use it within 2 days of defrosting cook food until it's steaming hot all the way through When meat thaws, liquid can come out of it. This liquid will spread bacteria to any food, plates or surfaces that it touches. Keep the meat in a sealed container at the bottom of the fridge so that it cannot touch or drip onto other foods. If you defrost raw meat and then cook it thoroughly, you can freeze it again. But never reheat meat or any other food more than once as this could lead to food poisoning. Cooking meat safely Follow the cooking instructions on the packaging. Some people wash meat before they cook it, but this actually increases your risk of food poisoning, because the water droplets splash onto surfaces and can contaminate them with bacteria. It's important to prepare and cook food safely. Cooking meat properly ensures that harmful bacteria on the meat are killed. If meat is not cooked all the way through, these bacteria may cause food poisoning. Bacteria and viruses can be found all the way through poultry and certain meat products (such as burgers). This means you need to cook poultry and these sorts of meat products all the way through. When meat is cooked all the way through, its juices run clear and there is no pink or red meat left inside. Meats and meat products that you should cook all the way through are: poultry and game, such as chicken, turkey, duck and goose, including liver

Liver and liver products Liver and liver products, such as liver pâté and liver sausage, are a good source of iron, as well as being a rich source of vitamin A. You should be able to get all the vitamin A you need from your daily diet. Adults need: 700 micrograms of vitamin A per day for men 600 micrograms of vitamin A per day for women However, because they are such a rich source of vitamin A, we should be careful not to eat too much liver and liver product foods. Having too much vitamin A – more than 1.5mg (1,500 micrograms) of vitamin A per day from food and supplements – over many years may make your bones more likely to fracture when you are older. People who eat liver or liver pâté once a week may be having more than an average of 1.5mg of vitamin A per day. If you eat liver or liver products every week, you may want to consider cutting back or not eating them as often. Also, avoid taking any supplements that contain vitamin A and fish liver oils, which are also high in vitamin A. Women who have been through the menopause, and older men, should avoid having more than 1.5mg of vitamin A per week from food and supplements. This is because older people are at a higher risk of bone fracture. This means not eating liver and liver products more than once a week, or having smaller portions. It also means not taking any supplements containing vitamin A, including fish liver oil, if they do eat liver once a week. Pregnant women should avoid liver and liver products and vitamin A supplements.
