South American Meat Inc., also known as 5Gogi LLC, is recalling over 20,000 pounds of various frozen raw beef products that were not presented to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service for import reinspection upon entry to the United States.
The items were imported from Uruguay on or around March 17, 2024, according to the USDA, and were shipped to distributors, restaurants, retailers and institutions in Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington.
According to the USDA notice, the problem was discovered during "routine FSIS surveillance activities of imported products" and it was determined that the products were not presented for FSIS import reinspection.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, according to the USDA, and anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
The recall affects the following products:
The USDA says the products subject to recall bear Uruguay establishment number 58 printed inside the Uruguay inspection mark located on the shipping box and vacuum sealed product packaging.
Any individual or entity who have purchased these products are urged not to consume or serve them. The USDA says the products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
