Family says: “I liked this burger,” said Amanda. “It almost tasted like a steak, and I like steak!” While Donna thought it had a thick and hearty taste to it, Alicia found it a little dry. The family said next to the Lick’s burger, this was their favourite.

Dietitian says: These hamburgers are a good choice. Not only are they are one of the lowest in fat due to their proper serving size, the sodium content, while higher than some of the other brands, is still within the acceptable level.

What to look for in a frozen hamburger:

Choose varieties that are made with 100 per cent pure lean beef.
Serving sizes should be around 3 oz. (100 g) or the size of your palm and thickness of a deck of cards.
Look for varieties that are low in sodium (360 mg or less).
