Canadian Beef Quality Grades

The Canadian beef grading system helps ensure the beef program selected will meet expectations every time. Canada’s top 3 grades represent 99% of production. Canada AA, AAA (including top tier AAA) and Canada Prime use the same marbling thresholds as the U.S. for Select, Choice and Prime. Canadian beef programs offer the right combination of quality and value your customers are looking for.

CANADA AA GRADE

A good value choice offering lower levels of marbling and typically fewer calories than Canada AAA and Prime Grades. Canada AA beef can be tender and flavourful and performs well with all popular cooking methods.

CANADA AAA GRADE

A great choice for high-quality beef. Canada AAA offers higher levels of marbling than Canada AA and is well suited for all popular cooking methods. Canada AAA will become a delicious family favourite when grilled, broiled, simmered or roasted to perfection.

CANADA AAA GRADE (TOP TIER)

Canadian beef brands that include only the most marbled (Top Tier) beef within the Canada AAA grade are an excellent choice for steakhouse-quality beef. These brands offer beef with the very best marbling, flavour and juiciness within the AAA grade.

CANADA PRIME GRADE

An extraordinary choice for exclusive steakhouses, hotels and serious home chefs. Canada Prime is selected for maximum marbling, flavour and juiciness and only available in limited supply.
