industry quality assurance
programs instead of creating
their own individualized
verification programs.
Given Wendy’s commitment
to source 100% BQA Certified
beef, Tyson Foods Inc., leading
U.S. meat processor that
processes approximately 25%
of the United States’ beef cattle,
expects all cattle suppliers
to become BQA Certified by
January 1, 2019. Cattle suppliers
should work with a Tyson Foods
Inc. buyer to provide their BQA
number or certificate before
January 1st. Additionally, cattle
transporters will be expected
to become BQA Transportation
(BQAT) Certified by January
1, 2020 to deliver to Tyson
processing facilities. Livestock
haulers play a critical role to
insure humane handling of
livestock throughout the food
supply and impact the final
quality of the beef carcass. Thus,
Wendy’s and Tyson Foods as
leaders in the U.S. beef supply
chain are asking everyone to
assume responsibility for their
role to help maintain the highest
quality product for consumers.
The beef industry is big and
diverse. Whether you’re a
cow-calf producer, feeder,
transporter, auction barn, or
processing plant each person
depends on the others to keep
beef on the dinner plate across
America. Check out the Tyson
Beef Packing Plant, Dakota City,

the Ranch campaign. I
