German per capita beef and veal consumption levels have fluctuated somewhat in the last decade, amounting to 9.4 kilograms in 2020. However, compared to the 1990s, these levels were noticeably lower.
Pork most consumed type of meat
When looking at per capita consumption of meat products in Germany by type, pork is the most consumed, followed by poultry and then beef. In the country that is also known for its many sausage products, recorded pork consumption levels are explainable. Lower meat consumption levels in general may also be due to growing pursuit of vegetarian or vegan lifestyles, as well as rising awareness and criticism of the meat processing industry in general.
