Calf’s liver is an organ meat; the figures here describe it fried in corn oil. It provides protein and fat, along with several vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 22g of protein, 9.6g of fat, 12mg of iron and 25217µg of vitamin A, expressed as retinol equivalent.
Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. The very high vitamin A content is important to note: UK pregnancy guidance advises avoiding liver and liver products because too much vitamin A can harm an unborn baby.
