1. Wait...wut??? Lol

Who knew there was a "standard" for meat quantity in "meat lasagna"? "Um sir, I'm sorry but your lasagna only has 89% of the standard for meat content. You're just going to have to call it lasagna"

2. I got that beat

I brought cinnamon buns one time made with REAL cinnamon.

3. Is there really a lasagna with meat sauce standard? nt

[Thomas Hurt]

4. Is the stuff they say there is two times the standard, really meat?

[Glorfindel]

5. Meat-like substances. Don't ask too many questions.

And never, ever read the ingredients label.

9. The 'lasagna with meat sauce standard'

is probably a standard of something called the Microwave Dinner Consumers Council, of which Stouffers is undoubtedly a member.

Using industry-owned and created councils to show your product meets or exceeds standards is a very old trick.

I wanna know is it lasagna with "meat and sauce" or is it lasagna with "meat sauce"? Inquiring minds want to know!

11. Strangely enough...

https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/CID%20Lasagna%2C%20Frozen.pdf

Although there is a federal standard for frozen lasagna, the standard does NOT say how much meat has to be in the product.

12. "The texture of the lasagna noodles shall not be rubbery"

From the USDA document....

I think every frozen lasagna product has broken the law!
