Beef prices surged to an all-time high in July as the market grappled with consistently strong demand and long-term issues in domestic production.

According to the latest consumer price index, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics published on Tuesday, the beef and veal index rose by 2.5% in July, compared to 0.2% for the broader food category. This capped an 11.3% increase over the past 12 months.

Meanwhile, the price of ground beef and uncooked beef steaks has risen by 11.5% and 12.4%, respectively, both now at record levels.

    Vegan sausage has been around way longer than that, I was eating Linda McCartney (yes, that McCartney) sausages in the '90s because they were much better than other vegan sausages, pretty much the same as cheap pork sausages.

    They still don’t quite compare to a really good pork sausage imo though.
