Most mincemeat nowadays contain no meat.
Mincemeat was originally a conglomeration of bits of meat, dried fruit and spices, created as an alternative to smoking or drying for preservation, a variant form of sausage. It should not be confused with minced meat. Mincemeat containing actual meat has become less common over the years; however, many cultures still add minced beef sirloin, or (less commonly) ground beef to the mix. The customary form today typically consists of raisins, spices, grated apple, and animal suet, though many commercial varieties use hard vegetable fat instead, making it completely vegetarian. Mincemeat may also contain currants, candied fruits, citron, and brandy, rum or other liquor.
Some recipes do have beef or suet. You have to read the label in order to see if it is all fruit.
