Argentine Beef Importer Recalls 29,628 Pounds Over Skipped Reinspection

Corte Argentino USA LLC, based in Aventura, Florida, has issued a recall of approximately 29,628 pounds of raw beef products imported from Argentina. The recall was announced by the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) last Thursday, citing that the products bypassed a required U.S. reinspection. The beef was imported from Argentina and distributed in the United States. The FSIS classified the recall as a Class I health hazard situation, indicating a reasonable probability that use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death. The products subject to recall were produced on various dates and bear the establishment number 'EST. 20845' inside the USDA mark of inspection. The FSIS urged consumers who have purchased these products to not consume them and to either discard them or return them to the place of purchase. The recall was initiated after FSIS discovered that the products were not presented for reinspection upon entry into the United States, a violation of federal regulations. This incident highlights the importance of import reinspection procedures in ensuring the safety of the U.S. food supply.
