Urner Barry quoted prices (EBP, USD/lb). The 8-up premium over 5-8 oz is the key foodservice demand signal: a wide spread indicates strong foodservice buying for larger grades. In 2025, 8-ups peaked at $13.50 from April through September while 5-8s bottomed in June at $7.95 — a spread of $5.40. Since then, 8-ups have compressed steadily while 5-8s have risen sharply. By March 2026 the spread has collapsed to $1.25 — the narrowest on record in this series — as 5-8 inventory exhaustion drives prices up while 8-up demand moderates.
