Beef Handpicked by Giant Retail Dietitians
Beef will be featured in June for Nutrition Month at Giant Foods. Giant’s nutrition program gives shoppers access to a team of licensed nutritionists and registered dietitians to help them make the best choices for their families’ health.
The Beef Checkoff program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States may retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.
