“Nobre Receitas Caseiras Pork and Beef Recall: Import Violation.” GovInfoNow, updated October 12, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275419-boa-vida-imports-recalls-pork-and-beef-products-imported-from. Based on USDA FSIS recall #050-2015 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/boa-vida-imports-recalls-pork-and-beef-products-imported-ineligible-country-without).
Why it’s dangerous
The products were imported from Portugal, which is not currently eligible to export meat products to the U.S., and they were not presented for inspection at the U.S. point of entry. Without this mandatory inspection, there is a possibility of adverse health consequences because the equivalence of the foreign food regulatory system could not be determined.
