Frozen patties aren't the budget option they seem. A 16-ounce pack of organic grass-fed beef from Whole Foods on Amazon runs $9.99, which breaks down to $2.50 each, compared to $2 per patty for fresh ground beef.

Instead of cheapest, ask for the 'best value for [your] cooking method.' That small shift in wording can make a big difference in the 'final cut,' so to speak.

The Competition and Markets Authority found that consumers have overpaid roughly £1 billion in veterinary fees over five years, highlighting a significant issue in the market.

We are not moving away from making plant-based meat. This is a strategic expansion of our portfolio into additional protein categories. We start at the farm with clean and simple, non-GMO ingredients like yellow peas, red lentils and faba beans. We love clean protein and fiber.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), all ground meat, as well as poultry (even those with longer expiration dates) should be used or frozen within the first 48 hours of coming home from the store. Raw steaks, pork chops, and roasts can go a bit longer, at three to five days.

For someone aiming to end the global livestock industry, Bruce Friedrich begins his new book called Meat in disarming fashion: I'm not here to tell anyone what to eat. You won't find vegetarian or vegan recipes in this book, and you won't find a single sentence attempting to convince you to eat differently. This book isn't about policing your plate.

One of those enduring rumors is that Arby's roast beef comes to the store in liquid form, but that is a totally false allegation that was debunked years ago. The reality is that Arby's roast beef simply comes prepacked in a bag of liquid brine.

The 13-year-old Swiss Brown cow lives in the village of Notsch at the foot of the Carinthia mountains in southern Austria. She's kept as a pet by a local farmer, and can roam her meadow to her heart's delight. Like many other pets, she likes to have her back scratched. If no friendly humans are around to do the job, that's not a problem Veronika uses a brush or stick to do it herself.

Swine life on Staples' sustainable family farm is a jarring contrast to the existence of a pig on one of America's "intensive" corporate-owned mega-farms, where some sows are confined to cages so small they literally can't turn around or take more than a step or two in any direction.

John did not want to give up beef entirely, but he feared the impact of the beef industry on the Paris agreement's limit of 1.5C of post-industrial global heating and the devastating effects of beef farming on deforestation. He compared the overconsumption of beef to the coolness of tobacco back in the day: Norms feel permanent, but norms can change and when they do it can be powerful, he said.

In 2019, the plant-based meat industry experienced explosive growth. Investors poured hundreds of millions of dollars into companies like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. Fast-food giants like McDonald's and Burger King rolled out plant-based burgers nationwide. Even celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Katy Perry backed the movement.

Walmart's slogan may be "Save Money, Live Better," but as a series of social media posts have revealed, the corporation has been overcharging shoppers for meat via rampant mislabelling. Customers have discovered that the weights listed on some of Walmart's meat packages are incorrect, and these weight discrepancies could indicate fraudulent overpricing and deceptive tactics to get customers to pay more for less food.

Profitability in the cattle business often hinges on understanding the real cost of production, something that can be difficult to pin down when labour, land, and opportunity costs aren't always clearly accounted for.

The environmental impacts of meat consumption could be rapidly and cheaply reduced if governments applied full VAT on products such as beef, pork, lamb and chicken, a study has shown. Depending on how the additional tax revenues were redistributed, such a change could cost households as little as 26 (23) a year, while cutting ecological destruction by between 3% and 6%, the paper found.

An Idaho-based beef processing facility is recalling about 22,912 pounds of raw ground beef over concerns that the products might be contaminated with E. coli O145. The company, CS Beef Packers in Kuna, issued the recall following testing by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), according to a recall notice published late Wednesday. An FSIS test at a "downstream customer" showed E. coli O415.

The CRSB Certified Producer Incentive will provide a $400 payment in 2026 to eligible beef producers who maintain active certification by June 30, 2026, or who were certified at any point between January 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026. Producers must hold a valid certificate from a CRSB-approved certification body and meet all qualifying cattle requirements to receive the payment.

According to their website, the target is to ensure that by 2030, all of their beef in America and Canada "will be sourced from suppliers that prohibit the routine use of medically important antibiotics". This is a part of Wendy's commitment to sourcing beef responsibly - a long-standing mission that dates back to 2001, when they set up the Animal Welfare Council.

When you think of farming, what ingredients do you generally associate with a successful harvest? The basics certainly come to mind: fertile soil, plenty of sunlight and lots of water. But there are other variables that can also mean the difference between a crop of healthy fruits and vegetables and a large heap of organic waste. And it turns out that one of those variables is a very small hawk.
