Buffalo meat versus beef — a buyer's note
Leaner, cheaper, legal from India. Not a synonym for cattle beef.
Indian buffalo is leaner than typical cattle beef and priced for manufacturing and Halal wholesale. Processors in Egypt, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Gulf have used it for decades.
Hotels that print ‘Australian beef’ on a menu are not this customer. Labour catering, burger manufacture, curry cuts and Halal retail economy ranges often are.
We will never relabel buffalo as beef to win a PO. If your customer's spec says cattle, we will say so and step aside.
