    What’s New


    May 30, 2024

    USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), as part of its ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of the food supply, is announcing the final results of its beef muscle sampling of cull dairy cows condemned at select FSIS-inspected slaughter facilities. On May 28, 2024, testing was completed on all 109 muscle samples that were collected. No viral particles were detected in 108 out of 109 muscle samples. As previously announced on May 24, viral particles were detected in tissue samples, including diaphragm muscle, from one cow. No meat from these dairy cattle entered the food supply.

      For this product the skirt (diaphragm) must be matured for a minimum of 14 days, in vacuum bags, not on the bone, to enhance keeping quality.

      Description
      Produced from the skirt (diaphragm), with all gristle and connective tissue removed. The meat grain is coarse but tender and is also ideal for stir-fry.
