Many of them are a quality product. The same stuff you'd get in a
chub of ground beef at the store.

There are of course some with minor to sever adulterations. Beware
of packages containing the word "patty" (or "patties") and the worst
of all: the word "Mix". Always read the ingredient labels. "100%
pure beef" doesn't mean much, and the more ingredients it has the
worse it will taste.

Interesting reading if you'd like to know what all those labels
really mean (or don't mean):
