Household Ingredients Compared › Fresh beef (Singapore)

Fresh beef: what's actually in it?

Fresh beef sold in Singapore supermarkets is a single-ingredient product: beef. There is no ingredient list to compare, because there is nothing added. What differs between packs is the cut (ribeye, striploin, tenderloin, mince, brisket, flank, chuck), the feeding (grass-fed vs grain-fed), the grade (Angus, Wagyu, marble score) and the origin (Australia or New Zealand, as printed). This page records those things as printed, and states plainly where there is no additive list because the product is a single ingredient. Frozen beef, marinated beef and beef burgers/patties are not covered here.

This page does not give a health score or a “best” pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed and flags what is in it.

The headline, in 30 seconds

Every pack on this page is one ingredient: beef. If a fresh beef pack listed anything else, that would be the story — none of the packs inventoried here does.
Origin is Australia or New Zealand on every panelled row, as the product names themselves state. Grass-fed is the common claim; grain-fed appears on Angus and Wagyu lines.
Tasty Food Affair, Hego, Master Grocer and Aw's Market are the named fresh-beef brands at FairPrice, alongside FairPrice Finest's Delicato Prime Picks. The Meat Club range at FairPrice is frozen, not fresh, and is listed in seen-but-not-verified for that reason.
Mince is a cut, not a formulation: minced beef on this page is beef minced from a named source (grass-fed, New Zealand or Australian), with nothing added.

Panelled with verbatim lists: 10 products. Seen but not verified: 8 products (see list below). No prices are shown: they change weekly and would go stale. This site compares ingredients only, and gives no health score, ranking or “best” pick.

Scope note: fresh beef has no ingredient list, because it is a single ingredient. The panelled table therefore records cut, feeding, grade and origin as printed, and each card states plainly that there is no additive list. Do not read the absence of a list as a missing list — it is the correct statement for this product.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the table are as sold, per 100 g unless a separate per-serving table says otherwise. Sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars separately. No official Singapore Nutri-Grade (A–D) was found printed on any of these listings in this pass, so none is quoted here; no grade has been assigned.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.

Total vs added sugars: Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as “added sugar”. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sugar, glucose syrup, invert sugar syrup) versus naturally occurring sugars (lactose in milk/cream).

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked “not stated” were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours.

Per 100 g, as sold

Product	Energy	Protein	Total fat	Saturated fat	Carbohydrate	Sugars	Sodium (salt equiv.)

Click a column header to sort. Rows marked “not stated” always sort last — a dash is missing data, not zero. Salt equivalent = sodium × 2.5, shown in brackets.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 g nutrition panel was verified in this pass for any fresh beef cut on this page. FairPrice does not publish a nutrition panel for its fresh beef packs in the listings retrieved, and no per-100 g panel was taken from a generic database — generic beef nutrition would describe a different cut, grade or fat trim, not the pack on the shelf. The nutrition figures for fresh beef therefore remain unverified until an SG pack panel is photographed. What can be said without a panel: the product is a single ingredient (beef), with no added sugar, no added salt and no additives printed on any pack inventoried here; the nutritional difference between rows on this page is the cut and the fat trim (ribeye vs striploin vs mince vs brisket), not a formulation difference.

How to read the label — the jargon, in plain English

Ribeye: A well-marbled steak cut from the rib. The marbling is intramuscular fat — it is part of the cut, not an added ingredient.
Striploin: A leaner steak cut from the short loin, with a fat cap on one edge. Also sold as sirloin in some markets.
Tenderloin / hanging tenderloin: Tenderloin is the leanest steak cut; hanging tenderloin (hanger steak) is a different, flavourful cut from the diaphragm, not the same as tenderloin.
Denver steak: A cut from the chuck (shoulder), marketed as a steak. It is a single muscle from the chuck, not a processed product.
Mince: Beef ground from a named source. On this page mince is beef and nothing else — check the pack, because some mince elsewhere can include added fat or seasoning; none inventoried here does.
Grass-fed vs grain-fed: How the cattle were finished. Grass-fed cattle eat grass; grain-fed cattle are finished on grain rations (e.g. 150 days). It affects flavour and fat, not the ingredient list — both are still just beef.
Marble score (MB) / Wagyu MS: A grading of intramuscular fat. MB3+ and MS4+ describe how marbled the beef is; they are grades, not ingredients.

What this page is not

Not a health score, and not a “best” pick. The products on this page are different products, and this page does not rank them.
Not a taste test, and not a price comparison. Prices change weekly; ingredients change less often, but still change.
Not complete. The products in seen-but-not-verified are not yet panelled, for the verification reasons given, not hidden. Stock and formulations change, so no page claims permanent 100% completeness.

Sources and method

Checked 12 November 2026 from: FairPrice Singapore category and brand listings (Tasty Food Affair Australia/NZ chilled range, Hego range, Master Grocer range, Aw's Market range, The Meat Club frozen range, Heritage Choice, Delicato Prime Picks OP Rib Steak); Aussie Beef / The Great Steak Escape on Australian sirloin at FairPrice. Cold Storage publishes no ingredient list on any product page, so its shelf could not be panelled from its site. Nutrition section added 12 November 2026: no per-100 g panel was verified for any cut, and none is borrowed from a generic database; the section states this plainly rather than presenting unverified numbers. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
