Coast Coverage

Beef tallow is having a moment—and Coast Packing Company is turning that momentum into an annual celebration. On July 13, 2026 (National Beef Tallow Day), the Vernon, California-based supplier kicked off its 9th Annual #BeefTallowFrenchFries Contest, a social-first campaign that runs through Friday, July 31, and rewards nothing more complicated than one great photo of crispy, golden fries fried the natural way.

Vernon, Calif.-based animal fat shortening supplier Coast Packing Company is trumpeting the celebration of National Beef Tallow Day on July 13 to invite consumers, chefs and restaurants to discover the flavor and versatility of a “time-tested” cooking fat.
