Eleven commercial food products that may be considered by consumers to be major sources of protein were evaluated. Most of these items contained significant amounts of carbohydrate in the form of cereal products or purified sugars. Seven of the products were at least equal to casein in protein efficiency ratio (PER). Canned spaghetti and meat balls, the TV dinner, canned chicken-and-vegetable baby food, and food bars had PER values between 91 and 73 per cent of that of casein, while PER values for ground beef and high-protein cereal were significantly higher than casein.
