Nearly 30,000 pounds of raw beef from Argentina has been recalled after the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) determined the shipment had bypassed a required import reinspection.
“Corte Argentino USA LLC, located in Aventura, Fla., is recalling approximately 29,628 pounds of raw beef products that were imported from Argentina without the benefit of import reinspection into the United States,” the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.
