“Laser Corned Beef Recall: Import Inspection Violation.” GovInfoNow, updated October 12, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275421-laser-corned-beef-products-produced-without-benefit-of-import-inspection. Based on USDA FSIS recall #053-2015 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/laser-corned-beef-products-produced-without-benefit-import-inspection).

Why it’s dangerous

The products were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection, meaning they did not receive the benefit of full safety checks required for imported foods. This absence of inspection creates a possibility of adverse health consequences from consumption.

Who’s affected

Consumers who purchased Laser Canned Corned Beef with the 'BEST BEFORE END 03/10/2019' date, specifically those in Maryland and Virginia or receiving shipments to California distributors.

How to tell if you have this one

Check your cans for the brand 'LASER CORNED BEEF' and a 'BEST BEFORE END 03/10/2019' date. Look for the establishment number EST. Brazil 337 inside the country's mark of inspection on the label.
