Saval Foodservice's own veteran purchaser, Tracy Anderson, takes you through the major market updates.

The Birds Are in Your Favor 🍗
We're back with some Spring Market Trends!
Beef production remains tight at 564K head, keeping prices strong, especially for ribeyes, tenderloins, and strip loins. With Cinco de Mayo approaching, thin meats are in high demand, and waiting to buy will likely cost you more.
Strong beef prices are driving up demand and prices for chicken breasts and tenders, while wings continue to drop and are now the best value. Despite peak migration season, avian flu impact was minimal this week, with 9 cases and 326K birds affected.
Pork bellies are holding steady at $135, but warmer weather and reduced production could push prices higher soon. Loins remain a great value, while ribs and butts are starting their seasonal climb.
