Beef prices see second weekly drop

Boxed beef costs have declined for two consecutive weeks following a period of near-record highs.

The cost of boxed beef has fallen for the second week in a row, according to data from the Input Cost Index. This shift comes after several months where prices remained at near-record levels.

Reporting from Food Industry Executive notes that the USDA Choice cutout has eased once again. Procurement teams have been closely monitoring these trends as the market moves away from its previous peak.
