According to FSIS, Corte Argentino USA LLC, based in Aventura, Florida, recalled approximately 29,628 pounds of raw beef on August 7 after the company imported the products from Argentina without the required import reinspection.

Behind the brand

Corte Argentino USA LLC is based in Aventura, Florida, and sells Argentine beef products in the United States.

Meanwhile, the recalled products were labeled “Frigorífico Gorina SAIC,” an Argentine meat-processing company based in La Plata, Buenos Aires Province. The company supplies beef to domestic and international markets, including the United States.

Regulatory context

Overall, the recall highlights the importance of import controls, documentation, and verification when meat products move through international supply chains. In particular, importers need visibility into regulatory checkpoints to ensure products meet U.S. requirements before reaching distributors and retailers.

“Import reinspection is an important checkpoint in the food supply chain because compliance doesn’t end when a product leaves the exporting country,” said Eran Mizrahi, CEO of Source86.

“Importers need strong documentation, traceability, and verification processes to make sure products meet U.S. requirements before they move further into distribution.”

Additionally, strong traceability helps companies identify affected shipments and customers quickly when regulators flag a compliance issue.

Ensuring safe eats

For consumers, checking beef stored in refrigerators or freezers against the recalled product information is important. Products carrying establishment number “EST. N° OF. 2025,” shipping mark “26644-AA,” and matching date information should not be consumed.
