Food safety, first.
Every member plant operates under federal sanitary inspection (TIF) and meets the food-safety standards required by destination markets — HACCP, SQF, USDA, KOSHER, HALAL, and more.
About us
The association behind Mexican Beef®
Promoting, expanding, and enabling exports of premium Mexican beef under the world's most demanding food-safety standards.
Our mission
Connecting Mexico's best beef producers to international buyers.
Our main goal is to promote, increase, and enable exports of Mexican beef with the best attributes of flavor, food safety, hygiene, and animal-health standards.
Mexican Beef® brings together 13 TIF-certified member brands producing in seven Mexican states and serving 30 export destinations across North America, the Caribbean, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.
Founded in 2007, the association acts as the unified voice of Mexico's export-oriented beef industry — coordinating with federal authorities (SADER, SENASICA), international buyers, and global certification bodies to keep raising the bar on quality.
What we stand for
Four commitments to every buyer.
Traceability from source.
Cattle origin, processing, and shipment are documented at every step. GS1 standards and federal traceability programs enable end-to-end visibility for international buyers and authorities.
Consistent quality.
Continuous innovation in animal genetics, feed programs, and process control ensures that every cut shipped from a Mexican Beef® member meets specification — every time.
Reliable supply.
Mexico is the world's 1st live cattle exporter and 7th beef producer. Our members combine that scale with TIF-grade infrastructure to deliver year-round supply to global accounts.
