This unique feed regime provides measurable increases in Omega-3 fatty acid levels and decreases in cholesterol levels in the resulting beef products.

"We are excited to bring our flax technology to the outstanding beef programme at Cargill, working together to add innovative products to the beef category."

The arrangement brings together Cargill’s experience in the protein industry, with Simply Essentials’ new technology and perspective, using research and innovation to address consumer desires.

"Consumers care about their health, and Simply Essentials™ Black Angus beef products add value to the premium quality beef we love, balanced with proven, science-based results," said Cargill Protein’s president of retail, Tom Windish.
