Understand the beef grading scale

One of the most important grading factors is easy to spot in the meat case: marbling. Marbling – the little white flecks in beef – is key to flavor. The higher the amount of marbling, the higher the quality of beef.

The Certified Angus Beef ^® brand is incredibly flavorful, tender and juicy because of the high amounts of marbling in every cut.

Why is the Certified Angus Beef ^® brand better than USDA Choice and Prime?
The Certified Angus Beef ^® brand is incredibly flavorful, tender and juicy, because beef passes10 specifications for quality not required of regular USDA Choice and nine specifications not required of USDA Prime beef.
These science-based standards ensure flavorful and juicy beef in every bite. It’s so exclusive, less than 8% of all beef can earn the brand’s label. And less than 1.5% of all beef earns theCertified Angus Beef ^® brand Prime label.
