Beef Alert: Nearly 30,000 Pounds Sold in Florida and Texas Recalled

• Beef recall in Florida and Texas
• Beef arrived from Argentina
• You should not consume it

Nearly 30,000 pounds of raw beef imported from Argentina are being recalled from the U.S. market after the products entered without completing a required federal re-inspection.

Corte Argentino USA LLC, a Florida-based company, initiated the recall of approximately 29,500 pounds distributed to retailers and distributors in Florida and Texas, according to the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

• Why it matters: Some of this beef may still be stored in home refrigerators or freezers, so consumers must carefully review the products they purchased before preparing them.

So far, the FSIS has noted that there are no confirmed cases of illnesses or injuries linked to the consumption of the beef included in this recall.

These are the affected products

• The fact: The products were made between May 15 and May 20 and have expiration or freezing dates between September 15 and September 20.

The recall includes boxes of different weights with boneless Frigorífico Gorina SAIC beef in cuts identified as Top Sirloin Butt, Eye Round, Topside Cap Off, Flat, and Knuckle.

Consumers may also find them labeled as “Cuadril Sin Tapa”, “Peceto”, “Nalga AD S/Tapa”, “Carnaza Cuadrada”, and “Bola de Lomo”, respectively.

• Key points: To identify the products involved, look for the Argentine establishment “EST. N° OF. 2025” and the shipping mark “26644-AA” on the packaging.

Why nearly 30,000 pounds of Argentine beef were recalled

• The process: Although imported shipments must first meet Customs and Border Protection and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service requirements, there is another step before distribution.

The FSIS must conduct an import re-inspection that may include reviewing documentation, labels, packaging, and the general condition of the products, as well as certain tests to detect potential contaminants.

In this case, the agency reported that the Argentine beef entered the U.S. market without this re-inspection, a situation discovered during routine inspection activities.

• The difference: The recall was not announced because contamination or an associated illness was confirmed, but because the products did not undergo the corresponding federal re-inspection procedure.

What to do if you purchased the product

• What you can do: The FSIS recommends not consuming any of the affected products and asks that you discard them or return them directly to the store where they were purchased.

Before throwing away any packages, consumers can check the cut name, the dates indicated, the establishment number “EST. N° OF. 2025”, and the mark “26644-AA”.

Those who believe they have experienced health problems after consuming one of these products should consult a health professional, according to the agency’s recommendation, as reported by Fox Business.

• The limit: No confirmed illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the concern remains because some distributed packages in Florida and Texas may still be stored in consumers’ homes.
