Cargill named exclusive producer of Simply Essentials Black Angus beef
The arrangement brings together Cargill’s experience in the protein industry with Simply Essentials’ new technology and perspective.
Cargill, Minneapolis, was named the exclusive producer of the Simply Essentials brand of premium Black Angus beef products. Cattle dedicated to the Overland Park, Kan., brand are fed a proprietary, flaxseed-based diet prior to harvest.
“Today’s consumers are more health conscious than ever, and our products achieve the perfect balance for them,” says Todd Henning, chief operating officer for Simply Essentials, Inc. “We are excited to bring our flax technology to the outstanding beef program at Cargill, working together to add innovative products to the beef category.”
