According to an annual report by Kroger’s 84.51˚ data analytics group, shoppers are prioritizing health in 2025 with “better managing heart health, weight, energy, and cholesterol being the biggest concerns across the board, irrespective of age.” The timing is just right to help promote beef's place in a heart-healthy diet. A diet rich in lean beef can improve or reduce LDL cholesterol. When you have Laura's Lean 96% Lean 4% Fat ground beef available to shoppers, you are offering them a ground beef that is Heart-Check certified by the American Heart Association. This lets them know that Laura's 96% ground beef has been through a robust certification process, which includes meeting criteria for total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and beneficial nutrients.

"Meat prices are settling into a sweet spot compared to restaurants as it costs four times more per meal on average to dine out versus eating at home," said Chris DuBois, Circana executive vice president of the protein practice. While beef prices may be up, consumers are still willing to purchase it because it tastes great. Ground beef is extremely popular due to convenience and the ease of cooking, freezing and incorporating into a variety of recipes. Although there are numerous challenges facing the industry, consumers have repeatedly expressed their intent to keep purchasing beef. Laura's Lean Beef is a versatile ingredient in countless recipes making it the go-to solution to help keep family meal time alive. Sourced from cattle that NEVER EVER receive antibiotics or added hormones, Laura's Lean is a brand that consumers can feel confident about feeding their families. #laurasleanbeef #lauraslean #noantibiotics #eatwell #eatinghealthy #trustedbrand #noaddedhormones #nvrevr #leangroundbeef #groceryretail #meatindustry #groceryindustry #retail #lean #leanbeef #mealplanning #versatility #familymealtime #beef #cooking #eatingathome #comfortfood #beefitsstillwhatsfordinner

Are consumers still willing to spend more on meat? According to 2024 Power of Meat, “91% of consumers surveyed say that they can be persuaded to spend a little more on meat and poultry.” Anne-Marie Roerink, principal and founder of San Antonio-based 210 Analytics LLC, notes that how consumers look at premium meat is different today, because their preferences are more personalized...the consumer definition of premium is related to production claims such as organic, grass-fed or free-range. For many consumers, health, animal welfare and the environment are all interconnected when they think of a better-for-you choice. If your shoppers are seeking premium quality beef and pork that carry the claims most important to them, Meyer Natural Foods family of brands has you covered. Top claims important to consumers of beef and pork include raised in the USA, no antibiotics, no added hormones, all-natural*, grass-fed and organic.

The Power of Meat 2024 confirms that “emphasizing nutrition and health is vital to the success of the meat industry.

“Transparency and authenticity are the keys to building, sustaining and regaining trust. Transparency and education in the areas of responsible raising and sourcing is a win with consumers, especially given the combined share of shoppers who do not believe raising/sourcing practices are good and those who are unsure.” - Power of Meat 2024 At Meyer Natural Foods, we are proud of the wonderful producers we have the privilege to partner with. Stone Haven Farms, owned and operated by the Davis family in upstate Gouverneur, N.Y., boasts 1,500 acres of lush grass for their cattle to graze on. Dan Davis and his brother have been raising cattle their whole lives. While starting out raising dairy cows, the family made the decision to exclusively focus on raising grass-fed cattle. #TheMeyerWay #meyernatural #meyergrassfed #noantibiotics #noaddedhormones #grassfedbeef #groceryindustry #meatindustry #groceryretail #allnatural #quality #experience #healthyliving #eatinghealthy #farmtotable #familyfarms #farmers #agriculture #farming #farmer #farm
