In December 2008, an online survey of 2,000 consumers explored their perceptions of beef safety in restaurants and supermarkets. The findings revealed that 75% rated restaurant beef safety as A/B, while 87% rated supermarket beef similarly. The survey examined various issues influencing beef purchase behavior, such as confidence in beef safety and E. coli concerns. With the Beef Safety Summit established in 2003, stakeholders have worked to improve safety standards. Results indicated that 88% believe steaks and roasts are as safe or safer, while 84% feel the same about ground beef.
