Meat & Seafood Market Report
MEAT MARKET UPDATE
UPDATED JUNE 20, 2025
Beef Market:
As June wraps up, there’s a mix of steady foodservice strength and cautious consumer confidence. Grocery sales remain flat, but demand for dining out is holding strong. Beef prices have risen and are expected to peak in the coming weeks, likely easing after the Independence Day holiday. Consumers appear willing to pay premium prices for steakhouse-quality meals. Frozen grinds remain a smart option for creating value-driven specials. We’re continuing to monitor the shifting factors influencing the foodservice space.
Pork Market:
Pork is trending along typical seasonal lines. Rib prices and demand are both elevated. Pork bellies and bacon costs are also climbing, though we anticipate relief after the 4th of July holiday weekend. Pork butts continue to offer value in the current market and may be a strong consideration for budget-conscious menus.
Chicken Market:
It appears that breast meat demand and pricing have eased slightly, with fewer shortages and more favorable costs. However, tenderloins and wings are seeing renewed upward pressure on both availability and price. Supply remains inconsistent in some areas. We’re actively monitoring the situation to ensure strong inventory positions for our chefs.
