In 1978 the Certifed Angus Beef program was developed to provide assurances of beef quality and flavor for consumers which were diminished when the USDA lowered their beef quality grading standards years earlier.
Today, Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) functions as a not-for-profit division of the American Angus Association. The Association is comprised of more than 35,000 Angus breeders who are dedicated to producing high-quality beef, superior in taste and tenderness. The CAB brand is the industry's oldest and most successful brand.
