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
Buy Now, Grill Later 🍔
🥩 BEEF – The market’s tight and getting tighter. Fewer cattle, expensive steaks, and grinds climbing week after week mean burgers are the summer go-to. With no slowdown in sight, it’s a buy now or pay more later situation.
🐔 POULTRY – Breasts are pausing after a steady climb, while tenders are still on the rise with strong demand. Wings are steady at the bottom, and chicken overall remains the budget-friendly protein pick. Another rough week for avian flu—fewer cases, but big impact.
🌾 GRAINS – Last week’s corn rally fizzled, with corn, soy, and wheat all slipping lower. Good crop conditions here and abroad plus shaky export demand are keeping this market in check.
🥓 PORK – Pork pricing continues its climb with bellies at $150, up from $143. Butts and ribs are on the rise as production slows seasonally, while loins remain the best value on the board.
🧈 DAIRY – The CME rally rolls on: barrel up 2, block up 3, and butter surging 14. Momentum’s still on dairy’s side with more upside likely.
