Anyone? I genuinely don't know the answer, so please please please help!

And yes,I know I could just ask on a proper music forum, but I really can't be bothered.

It sounds very much like something by American composer Aaron Copland.
It could be "Hoe-Down" from "Rodeo: Four Dance Episodes".
But unless I could compare them side by side I can't be quite sure.
But I am pretty certain it is by Aaron Copland.
(I'll post again if I can confirm it.)

Cheers Ralph, I've youtubed it and found a match. I had Elmer Bernstein in my mind, probably because of the Magnificent 7 soundtrack, but it's definitely Hoe-Down

We also have a commercial in America with that jingle, and the commercial has this slogan:

"Beef: It's what's for dinner."
