At the Meat Case

The right cut of beef can take your meal from good to great, whether you plan to cook it fresh or freeze it for later. We’re here to help ensure your choice of beef is best for whatever recipe you are planning to cook. Use all of your senses when shopping for beef to determine freshness. Choose beef that is:
  • Bright cherry red in color or dark purplish-red if vacuum-packaged
  • In a cold package with no holes or tears and no excessive liquid
  • The freshest available based on the “sell by” date
