Beef Checkoff

The Foundation is a contractor to the Beef Checkoff to administer post-harvest beef safety research. Foundational, applied research is the focus in this program. Foundation research ranges from interventions to reduce Salmonella or STEC; research on fresh, whole muscle cuts, ground, or ready-to-eat beef products; operational and environmental approaches to enhancing safety; and deepening the understanding of Salmonella in the beef supply to inform mitigation efforts. Additional research priorities will be considered as appropriate for the contract scope.

Projects undertaken on the Beef Checkoff’s behalf are included in the Research Updates linked below.
