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
Screwed Over: When Worms Attack
🐄 BEEF:
Border closures, parasite threats, and tight supplies – yeah, it’s getting intense. Grinds and thin meats are climbing, middle meats are taking a breather. Memorial Day will tighten harvest even more. This is a buy now or cry later kind of market.
🐔 POULTRY:
Chicken’s still climbing – breasts, tenders, all holding strong. Wings? Still the bargain. But a big bump in avian flu cases could shake things up.
🌾 GRAINS:
Corn and wheat are on the rise as the market bets on stronger export demand. Soy lost some steam midweek but is still holding strong. Crop progress? Ahead of schedule and looking great.
🐖 PORK:
Butts and ribs are heating up as production tightens and demand stays strong. Bellies dipped slightly to $143 but are likely to hold steady for now before summer moves them higher.
🧀 DAIRY:
CME markets are climbing this week – Barrel up 6, Block up 7, Butter up 1. Looks like this upward trend could keep rolling for a few more weeks.
