Market Trends with Tracy
In foodservice, making smart menu decisions can be the difference between open, and closed. Follow along each week as we try to make sense of the many links in our food service supply chain, and how that affects the food you serve. Saval Foodservice's own veteran purchaser, Tracy Anderson, takes you through the major market updates.

Market Trends with Tracy
Pork Bellies Finally Drop
It's the holiday season, and beef continues the same trends of the last few weeks. Middle meats continue to increase and chucks, rounds, and grinds continue to decline. If you need middle meats, buy now. Mexico announced to the USDA that New World Screw Worm has been found in cattle, so exports to the US will temporarily cease while that is being dealt with.
The chicken market is steady and production is strong. It was another grim week for Avian Flu, with 1.2 million birds affected, including 50,000 ducks.
Grains continue to be in great shape.
Pork bellies are finally down where we like them. Buy now, because this market should move back higher by the end of the year. Butts, ribs, and loins continue to be great values. Why not feature pork this winter?
