Pizza with sausage — Must contain at least 12 percent cooked sausage or 10 percent dry sausage, such as pepperoni Turkey pie — Must contain at least 14 percent .cooked turkey meat Turkey ham — This is cured turkey thigh meat Meat and poultry processors may add more meat or poultry -than is required in a product. However, if less than the required amount is added, the processors must give the product a different name. USDA standards also limit the amount of fat, moisture and other ingredients that can be added to meat and poultry products. The picture on the label must also be honest. If the label shows five slices of beef, it must have at least five slices inside. And when a picture shows fancy extras that are not a part of the product, such as cranberry sauce or lemon slices, they must be identified as “suggested servings.” Always read meat and poultry labels — they tell all.
