Why Mexican beef

Quality you can trace, taste you can trust.

Three pillars that distinguish Mexican Beef® members in international markets.

01

Food safety

Every member operates TIF-certified plants under continuous federal veterinary inspection, with HACCP, SQF, USDA, KOSHER, or HALAL programs layered on top depending on destination.

02

Unmatched flavor

Cattle raised across Sinaloa, Veracruz, Coahuila, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, Nuevo León, and Baja California, on diverse pasture and grain-finished programs that deliver distinctive marbling and tenderness.

03

Reliable supply

13 leading brands serving 30 export destinations. Mexico ranks 7th globally in beef production and 1st in live cattle exports — the foundation for consistent, scalable supply.
