Market Trends with Tracy
In foodservice, making smart menu decisions can be the difference between open, and closed. Follow along each week as we try to make sense of the many links in our food service supply chain, and how that affects the food you serve. Saval Foodservice's own veteran purchaser, Tracy Anderson, takes you through the major market updates.

Market Trends with Tracy
High Steaks & Market Shakes
BEEF 🥩
Record-breaking cattle prices, border closures, and tight supply are all putting heat on the beef market. Grinds are leading the charge, and summer grilling might come with sticker shock.
POULTRY 🐔
Chicken stays hot as demand rises and beef prices push more eyes to poultry. Wings still can’t catch a break, but breasts and tenders are on the move. Avian flu update: a few new cases, mostly turkeys.
GRAINS 🌾
Corn and soy planting are ahead of schedule and looking strong. Soy demand is picking up – could be setting the stage for a long-awaited lift. Wheat’s holding steady.
PORK 🐖
Bellies are creeping up but likely holding steady for a bit. Butts are building some momentum, while loins remain the sleeper deal in the protein world.
DAIRY 🧀
A quiet week with mixed moves on the board – barrel down, block and butter up just a touch. Bigger shift coming in June as barrel pricing gets phased out, but for now, expect a slow and steady climb.
