Only the top 3% of beef qualifies
Certified Angus Beef® brand Prime’s requirements elevate premium beef to the truly exceptional. Its incomparable flavor, quality and tenderness will satisfy the most distinguished steak connoisseurs.
The difference is clear and continues throughout additional standards that ensure quality in every bite.
Only high-quality Angus cattle are eligible to ensure superior consistency
Commodity USDA Prime can include any breed, which allows for variability in overall taste and appearance
Sourced solely from “A” maturity cattle
USDA Prime has no maturity requirement, which can result in lack of tenderness
Requires finely textured beef, in addition to Slightly Abundant or higher marbling, to deliver flavor and juiciness
USDA Prime only matches the marbling standard
More selective than USDA Prime
Certified Angus Beef® brand Prime goes beyond USDA Prime-grade marbling by applying nine additional standards that other Angus beef doesn’t have to meet.
