The U.S. Department of Agriculture is recalling nearly 30,000 pounds of raw beef imported from Argentina after the products entered the United States without undergoing required import reinspection.
Corte Argentino USA LLC, based in Aventura, Florida, is recalling the 29,628 pounds of raw beef products, according to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. The products were sent to retailers and distributors in Texas and Florida.
The recall involves beef produced by Frigorifico Gorina SAIC in Argentina between May 15 and May 20, 2026. The products have use or freeze-by dates ranging from September 15 through September 20, 2026. The recalled products include boneless top sirloin butt, eye round, topside cap off, flat and knuckle cuts. Products subject to the recall carry Argentine establishment number “EST. N° OF. 2025” and shipping mark “26644-AA.”
FSIS classified the recall as a Class I health hazard, its highest recall classification. The agency defines a Class I recall as a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that consuming the product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
Damn that was fast, America straight up speedrunning foodborne illness right now
Or rather, with the GI issues from food poisoning… All the shit?
in argentina under the milei regime, there are no cows so ranchers force people to eat the grassincredible stuff. right on the heels of announcing that massive import of beef to lower beef prices too.
from a political constituency perspective within the agricultural producer bloc, there are a lot of not-huge (relatively speaking) beef cattle ranchers. chicken and pork are far more concentrated with vertical integration where the person with all those animals is under contract with some giant multinational and no decision making ability about when or where to sell.
most every state has a cattleman’s association of fairly chuddy guys in their 50s & 60s + their families + their farm credit/farm bureau services providers, auction owners, etc and holy crap were they popping off about the huge foreign purchase proposal (“betrayal!” came up a lot) to push down prices that way… and for the most burgerlander of agricultural products.
and then immediately this recall–which because the US got rid of “COOL” (Country Of Origin Labeling) exemptions for raw agricultural products intended for processing in the US (like at a butcher shop or a giant packing plant lol)–absolutely scares away buyers (including larger institutions) from buying any beef for a little while and substituting with some other protein.
it’s like they are trying to find every tranche of the the maga coalition and dropping a hot, wet turd in their lap.
this is a really cool way to kneecap the cattle lobby if it was being done on purpose.
One week ago.
Wtf is going on is this a money laundering scheme or something
There’s a reason why in Argentina we don’t eat pink-“cooked” meat, and is called STEC (Shiga Toxin producing E. coli) cuz the argentinian strains are the deadliest in the world (another coronación de gloria, papá)

Could you add the CW to the start of the title?
Thanks!
Are those living flash eating maggots still a thing over Texas? Lol, now I pity the cute dillos who may get barbecued: between steroids, explosive diarrhea, literal mutilation, and leprosy what’s the most fitting dish for Republicans?
This is such a weird story. This recall was announced weeks before Trump announced the tariff thing but is only now being reported on.
:hail-seitan: :sickos-vegan:
A I reading right that nothing was explicitly wrong with the beef, but they just didn’t do the required inspection? Like, how does such an obvious step just not get done?
