The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall of 29,628 pounds of raw beef products distributed in Florida and Texas.
“The problem was discovered during routine FSIS inspection activities,” federal officials said.
The recall is applicable to various weight cardboard boxes containing FrigorIfico Gorina SAIC boneless beef Top Sirloin Butt (Cuadril Sin Tapa), Eye Round (Peceto), Topside Cap Off (Nalga AD S/Tapa), Flat (Carnaza Cuadrada), and Knuckle (Bola de Lomo).
The raw beef products were produced between May 15 and May 20 and have expiration dates ranging from Sept. 15 to 20.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators and freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
The products subject to the recall bear Argentinian establishment number “EST. N° OF. 2025” and shipping mark “26644-AA.”
While these meat products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase, there have been no confirmed reports of illness or injury due to consumption of the beef, according to federal officials.
However, anyone concerned about an illness or injury should contact a health care provider.
Earlier in August, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced a public health alert involving three varieties of burritos sold through Costco’s same-day delivery.
The product contains egg, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
“The problem was discovered by a consumer that identified the product contained in the carton of ‘Red's Steak Cilantro and Lime burrito’ was a different product, which contains egg, and had been incorrectly labeled,” federal officials said. “The consumer reported the issue to the producing establishment, and the establishment notified FSIS.”
The public health notice is applicable to 3-pound, 2-ounce cartons containing 10 individually wrapped burritos that were produced on June 19.
For the majority of diners, eating a burrito on the go that contains undisclosed eggs is unremarkable. Consumers with a soy allergy, however, may have a reaction, which raises the stakes of consuming them. To date, no fatalities, injuries, or hospitalizations have been reported.
