The quota provides the first zero-duty access to the UK since its exit from the European Union in 2020. The first U.S. beef shipments under the new, duty-free quota arrived in March and was celebrated by a pair of events hosted by the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) in London last week. Those events included a reception at the U.S. Embassy in London and a dinner for the British trade at Smith &amp; Wollensky steakhouse. USMEF Chair Jay Theiler of Agri Beef said he sees great new opportunities in the UK marketplace for U.S. beef.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d30hko96l9xirl.cloudfront.net\/Iowamediafolder\/2026\/05\/Theiler-Cut.mp3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/d30hko96l9xirl.cloudfront.net\/Iowamediafolder\/2026\/05\/Theiler-Cut.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Leona McManamon, a senior buyer for Costco in the UK, said Costco\u2019s tasting samples will offer UK shoppers an opportunity to taste the difference between U.S. grain-finished beef and the grass-fed product typically available in the market.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d30hko96l9xirl.cloudfront.net\/Iowamediafolder\/2026\/05\/McManamon-Cut.mp3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/d30hko96l9xirl.cloudfront.net\/Iowamediafolder\/2026\/05\/McManamon-Cut.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit usmef.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"U.S. beef recently regained duty-free access to the United Kingdom under a 13,000 metric ton quota included in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":566346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-566345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=566345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/566345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/566346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=566345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=566345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=566345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
