Why it’s dangerous
The products were imported without being checked by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) for reinspection. This means they may not meet U.S. food safety standards, though no confirmed injuries or illnesses have been reported.
Who’s affected
Anyone who purchased these frozen raw beef products from retailers, restaurants, or institutions in Arizona, California, Oregon, or Washington. People most at risk are those who have already consumed or plan to consume the recalled items.
How to tell if you have this one
Look for cardboard cases labeled with 'Frigorífico Casa Blanca S.A.' followed by a beef product name (e.g., 'AGUJA CHUCK ROLL') and the code 'JP0001' through 'JP0009'. The products also display 'FRICASA' on the vacuum-sealed packaging and have Uruguay establishment number '58' inside the Uruguay inspection mark.
