Why does my Ribeye steak say it has carbs on the nutrition label?

I bought several natures promise ribeyes at the grocery store. One of them was organic and two were not. When I got home and looked at the nutrition label I realized that the non organic steaks label made absolutely no sense. It has less fat than a grass fed strip steak, and 4 grams of carbs?

Sorry if this is the wrong sub to ask, here is a link to the nutrition label- https://stopandshop.com/groceries/meat/beef/beef-steaks-filets/beef-sirloin-steak/natures-promise-100-grass-fed-beef-ribeye-steak-10-oz-pkg.html

Answer

Most supermarket meat is injected with stuff to keep it looking fresh- maybe there are carbs in that.

The label states “New Zealand Beef,Processed And Packaged In The US.”
I’d guess this takes place during a specific stage of “processing” so that listing the ingredients is not required.

I do see an 800 number- why not call and ask?

Answer

Most good has trace carbs and the fat content most likely is based off the animals diet being controlled and also how it’s cut. The label is just an estimate, for the most accurate nutrition facts stick with ground meat.
