What is the Certified Angus Beef ® brand?

The Certified Angus Beef ® brand is a label recognizing exceptional Angus beef that is tasty, tender and juicy. Other labels may say Angus, but that’s where the similarities end. The brand, established in 1978, is truly a stamp of exceptional quality, and your sign of a great meal. We work with family farmers and ranchers to help them raise the very best Angus beef, and monitor its progress through every stage of the journey. In fact, our bosses are in boots: Certified Angus Beef LLC is a nonprofit entity owned by the American Angus Association ® and its farmer members.

The original brand of premium fresh beef is also the best. Thanks to 10 strict quality standards, it’s a cut above USDA Prime, Choice and Select.

Marbling – the key to flavor

1. Modest or higher marbling – for the taste that ensures customer satisfaction
2. Medium or fine marbling texture – the white "flecks of flavor" in the beef that ensure consistent flavor and juiciness in every bite

Maturity

3. Only “A” maturity is accepted, the youngest classification for beef – ensures superior color, texture and tenderness

Consistent Sizing: Three specifications ensure thicker steaks and consistent plate presentations for each customer:

4. 10- to 16-square-inch ribeye area
5. 1,050-pound or less hot carcass weight
6. Less than 1-inch fat thickness

Quality Appearance and Tenderness; Three specifications ensure thicker steaks and consistent plate presentations for each customer:

7. Superior muscling restricts influence of dairy cattle
8. Practically free of capillary rupture ensures quality appearance
9. No dark cutters ensures consistent appearance and flavor
10. No neck hump exceeding 2 inches safeguards against Brahman cattle-influence which have more variation in tenderness
