RECALL ALERT: South American Meat Inc. recalls frozen raw beef products

On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced a recall of 20,111 raw beef shipped from California to distributors, restaurants, retailers, and institutions in Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington.

South American Meat Inc. also known as 5Gogi LLC imported the frozen raw beef items from Uruguay on or around Mar 17, 2024.

“There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption,” said FSIS.

The recall was issued because FSIS determined that these products were not reinspected upon import.

According to FSIS, it is likely that these products may be in freezers and should be thrown away.
