Four like-for-like 454g quarter-pounder packs sold side by side, judged on the one number the box buries: how much of the burger is actually beef, not water, onion and crumb. The spread runs 72% to 92%, so the cheapest everyday pack gives the most real beef per pound while the big-brand pack is both the least beef and the worst value. Strip out the filler and Sainsbury's own Standard British burgers beat the dearest premium pack on beef per pound, and the reduced-fat pack is dearer for the same 86% beef.

Ranked by cost per 100g of actual beef — shelf price with filler stripped. Sources on each pack's own page.

The receipts

    86% beef
    British Beef (86%) on the box, same declared beef as the standard pack but dearer at GBP4.75 for 454g, 4 burgers (GBP10.46/kg). The reduced fat comes from a leaner mince, not more beef, so the value per pound of real beef is worse than the cheaper standard pack.
