Avian Flu Refusing To Let Up

I keep hoping Avian Flu is on its last leg and new cases are certainly down, but over the last week 42,000 head were reported infected, mostly turkey operations in Utah.  That brings our total number of birds lost to over 40,100,000.  Maybe this week’s nationwide heat wave will help end the new cases.  We hold at 37 states with reported cases.  Looking at chicken and QSR and foodservice demand are lightening up while pricing for wings and boneless breasts continue lower.  Tenders seem to be the only chicken part holding value. Expect chicken to continue to return to the value protein we’ve depended on. Episode Sources: https://www.ams.usda.gov/market-news/daily-pork-reportshttps://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/data-map-commercial.html https://usda.library.cornell.edu/concern/publications/gm80hv35d?locale=en#release-itemshttps://www.urnerbarry.com/https://www.uniprofoodservice.com/http://www.cheesereporter.com/prices.htmlLearn more on our website, Savalfoods.comFind us on Social Media:InstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterLinkedInSaval Foodservice is proudly celebrating 90 years in business in 2022.Shop our exclusive line of delicatessen products, Saval Deli- still made in Baltimore, Maryland, since 1932. Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn
