- When buying pre-ground minced meat, you should choose meat that has both lean and fat, with a fresh pink color, no foul smell, and no watery leakage.
- If you buy meat to grind yourself using a meat grinder, choose pork pieces that are bright in color, and when pressed, the meat should bounce back. The meat should not be dull in color, have no foul smell, or be watery.
