<![CDATA[Nutrition Label and "leanness"]]>Hi, new to some of this. I’m grinding store bought pork shoulder for sausage. Is the nutrition label designation of “Total Fat” percentage the same as the “leanness” percentage or ratio that I see on store bought packaged of ground hamburger? Thanks.

Like they say, close enough for government work!
