Con sumers who eat leaner beef must be happy because there is a lot more of it on grocery shelves, said a marketing analyst with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “Much of the increase has hap pened since USDA replaced the 60-year-old ‘USDA Good’ label with the new ‘USDA Select’ qual ity grade standard two years ago,” according to Dr. Jimmy Wise of USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service. Since USDA responded to con sumer and industry group peti tions for the name change in November 1987, the amount of officially graded leaner beef has increased by more than 700 per cent. “Consumers told us they wanted a more positive descrip tion of leaner meat available in grocery stores, and they got it,*’ said Wise. Nutrition-conscious consumers who wanted the name change maintained that the “Good’’ label misled buyers into thinking meat was mediocre. When the “Good” grade was first established in the 19205, it described the amount of fat or marbling in a cut of meat Today, less fat is considered by nutritionists to be more healthy, and leaner meat is better for you than just plain “Good,” consum ers told USDA. Wise said the name change was important because it was a programs which J-STAR Indus tries, manufacturers of Starline equipment will be featuring for the balance of 1990. Lancaster Farming Saturday, June 2, 1990-D9 cooperative effort to change stan dards and was supported by con sumer, health, and industry groups as well as the federal government In June 1986, the consumer group Public Voice for Food and Health Policy petitioned USDA to change the standard name from “Good” to “Select.” The change was sup ported by 12 other consumer health organizations, including the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, and the Consumer Pro tection Federation of America. In response, USDA published a proposal to rename the “Good” grade. The proposal also was sup ported widely by the beef cattle and packing industries, including the American Meat Institute, the National Cattlemen’s Association, and the American Farm Bureau Federation. “Select came about because of welcome coalition between indus try and consumers,” said Wise. ‘‘Select is selling, and that wouldn’t be happening if people weren’t happy with it Industry is responding by providing more leaner beef for grading, and more retailers are beginning to carry the product.” In the three months prior to the official name change, only 49,714 pounds, or 1.7 percent of all graded beef, was graded “Good.” By the final quarter of 1989, the “Select” label accounted for 433,413 pounds, or 14.3 percent of all graded beef, according to statistics kept by the Agricultural Marketing Service.
