This entry is one flavor variant of the same base product, and flavoring generally shifts oxalate far less than form and processing do. Brisket Beef sits at 0 mg per serving, in line with the rest of the family. Individual measured values below are the numbers to compare. Related forms in this family: 85% lean Beef (85% lean) (0 mg), 85% lean Beef (85% lean 2) (0 mg).
