Imperial American Wagyu Beef
Imperial American Wagyu Beef is a JBS-owned U.S. cattle program producing grain-finished Wagyu-cross beef.
- Ownership
- JBS USA acquired Imperial in April 2019.
- Sourcing
- Imperial says cattle are born and raised on U.S. family farms; its producer program requires registered Wagyu bulls and individual animal records.
- Practices
- Imperial describes a grain-based, high-fiber vegetarian diet for at least 400 days, excluding animal proteins, animal by-products and food waste.
- Practices
- The current FAQ permits antibiotics for disease prevention, treatment and control under veterinary oversight; the program is not a no-antibiotics-ever guarantee.
- Practices
- Imperial prohibits added hormones throughout an animal’s life and permits vaccinations.
- Certifications
- Imperial makes no organic or non-GMO claim. Its four marbling tiers are in-house grades, not independent animal-welfare certifications.
