Nearly 30,000 Pounds Of Imported Beef Recalled By Federal Authorities
on
Nearly 30,000 pounds of raw beef is being recalled, and the Federal government is ordering this safety measure amid unique circumstances.
On Aug. 7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced it was recalling the beef, which originates from Argentina.
Imported by Corte Argentino USA LLC, which is located in Aventura, Florida, FSIS has ordered the recall of the beef because it was “imported from Argentina without the benefit of import reinspection into the United States,” FSIS reports.
In total, the recall amounts to 29,628 pounds of beef.
Produced between May 15 and May 20, the recalled products bear freeze-by or use dates falling between Sept. 15, 2026, and Sept. 20, 2026, so they may still be in customers’ refrigerators.
Five key beef products have been identified as part of the recall, with all of them recalled in various weights:
- “FrigorIfico Gorina SAIC” boneless beef “Top Sirloin Butt” (“Cuadril Sin Tapa”);
- “FrigorIfico Gorina SAIC” boneless beef “Eye Round” (“Peceto”);
- “FrigorIfico Gorina SAIC” boneless beef “Topside Cap Off” (“Nalga AD S/Tapa”);
- “FrigorIfico Gorina SAIC” boneless beef “Flat” (“Carnaza Cuadrada”); and
- “FrigorIfico Gorina SAIC” boneless beef “Knuckle” (“Bola de Lomo”).
These beef products were distributed to distributors and retailers in the states of Florida and Texas, with the Argentinian establishment number “EST. N° OF. 2025” and shipping mark “26644-AA” as identifiers of the recalled goods.
“The problem was discovered during routine FSIS inspection activities,” FSIS stated.
Notably, Corte Argentino is a premium-quality beef importer, its website states, which sources its meat exclusively from Argentine Angus Beef of Frigorifico Gorina, with beef certification that is conducted by the Argentine Angus Association.
While the Trump administration considers Argentina a close ally of the United States, with President Donald Trump being an outspoken friend of Argentine President Javier Milei, this decision is being enforced.
As of Tuesday, Aug. 11, there have been no reported illnesses tied to the beef, but FSIS still urges customers of these products not to consume them, adding, “These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.”
