Meat from mammals such as beef, pork, and lamb
In the context of nutrition, red meat is defined as meat obtained from mammals, including beef, pork, lamb/mutton, veal, and venison. Red meat does not necessarily appear red in color. In culinary contexts, the term red meat is used more loosely to refer to meat that is red when raw. Wikipedia →
