What Nidam al-Tayyibat says
Veal does not appear as a separate heading in the lists; the system groups it with beef (same animal, same tier), so it uses up the same weekly share. The method attributes no advantage to young meat.
Sources differ: Non itemisé séparément : classement déduit de la rubrique bœuf (lecture du documentaliste, confiance moyenne).
What conventional nutrition says
Veal is a lean meat rich in protein and vitamin B12, slightly less concentrated in iron than adult beef.
