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
Eggflation Cracks 🥚💰
Beef: Tight inventories and rising demand continue to push the market higher, with last week’s production dropping to 560K head. Ribeyes are climbing, while rounds and chucks are still trending down. This is a buy-now market—waiting will likely cost you more in the coming weeks.
Poultry: Boneless skinless breasts and tenders are up again, while wing prices may have hit their floor. Production remains strong, running 2% ahead of last year. Avian flu reports were minimal, and shell egg prices continue to decline just in time for Easter.
Pork: Pork bellies dipped slightly to $135, possibly nearing the bottom of this market. With warmer weather, production typically slows, which could push prices higher. Loins remain a great value, butts are steady, and ribs are still looking good.
