Certified Angus Beef

Certified Angus BeefDid you know that Food Services of America is the only distributor in Oregon to offer Certified Angus Beef?

Certified Angus Beef standards exceed those of USDA Prime, Choice, and Select graded beef. Less than eight percent of beef earn the distinctive Certified Angus Beef brand. This grade offers consistently superior flavor, appearance, and tenderness.


Why is the Certified Angus Beef ® brand better than USDA Choice, Prime, or Select grades?


The Certified Angus Beef ® brand is incredibly flavorful, tender and juicy, because beef passes Ten 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.

One of the most important grading factors is easy to spot: 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. Learn more...
