List shows the healthiest meat in the world – 3rd place surprises. German Nutrition Society (DGE) still recommends that the animal product is still part of a balanced diet.

Poultry tops the list in first place! Not only is it low in fat, but it also contains many valuable proteins. Wild game is also considered comparatively healthy - but with a caveat: the risk of heavy metals, pesticide residues, diseases and parasites is higher with wild meat than with factory farming. Beef scores highly in the nutrient check with iron and zinc.
