When I see the word Angus used at restaurants or retail stores, does that mean it is Certified Angus Beef ® product?
Not unless you see the distinctive Certified Angus Beef ® shield. Since its origin in 1978, our company has established an extremely positive reputation for our beef. Subsequently, this has led to imitators in other Angus programs. Some of the specifications are below CAB’s “modest or higher” marbling level, and many do not monitor product use and promotion in restaurants and grocery stores as we do. Unfortunately, the increasing number of Angus brands creates confusion among consumers and producers alike.
