(The Center Square) – Nearly 30,000 pounds of Argentine beef were recalled because the meat missed a required inspection after entering the United States. The recall wasn’t caused by a report of illness or a test showing that the beef was contaminated. Corte Argentino USA LLC recalled about 29,628 pounds of raw beef, according to an August 7 notice from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Federal officials found that the beef entered the country without receiving a required import reinspection. The Food Safety and Inspection Service discovered the problem during routine inspection work. The agency said there haven’t been confirmed reports of illness or injury. Federal officials still listed the recall as Class I, the agency’s most serious recall level. Consumers shouldn’t eat recalled beef. The meat was produced between May 15 and May 20. It has use-by and freeze-by dates between Sept. 15 and Sept. 20. The recalled products include several boneless beef cuts from Frigorífico Gorina SAIC. The boxes have Argentine establishment number “EST. N° OF. 2025” and shipping mark “26644-AA.” The beef went to distributors and stores in Florida and Texas. Import reinspection takes place after meat arrives in the United States. Federal inspectors check documents, labels, packaging and the condition of the product. In this case, the required check never happened. The recall notice did not identify a pathogen or other problem with the beef. Argentine Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno said the importing company accepted responsibility. Quirno said the company described the incident as “an administrative error that occurred in the United States, with no relation to the exporting establishment or to the Argentine sanitary or safety system.” The USDA has found that Argentina’s meat inspection system is equivalent to the American system. Yet, Argentine beef must still receive another inspection after it enters the United States. The missed inspection has become part of another fight over beef imports. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said federal officials need to figure out how the meat missed inspection. “Nearly 30,000 pounds of Argentine beef made it into American commerce without receiving the required federal import reinspection,” Miller said in an August 12 statement. “That is unacceptable.” Miller urged people to buy American and Texas beef. Consumer Action for a Strong Economy said cattle groups are using a mistake made in the United States to attack Argentine beef. “The Cattle Lobby is desperate for any opening to attack President [Donald] Trump’s beef strategy,” the group said in a statement provided to The Center Square. “They want to cause chaos and keep prices high, while President Trump wants to help consumers. The missed reinspection was an error by the U.S., not Argentina – which remains a key partner for lowering our prices.” It also comes as beef prices rise in the United States. The average price of ground beef reached $6.89 a pound in July, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That was about 10% higher than one year earlier. Trump increased the amount of Argentine lean beef that can enter the United States under a lower tariff earlier this year. A February proclamation added 80,000 metric tons of Argentine lean beef to the import quota. The Trump administration said drought, wildfires, limits on cattle from Mexico and a smaller American cattle herd have pushed beef prices higher. Consumer Action for a Strong Economy wants the higher Argentine quota made permanent. It also wants a separate quota for beef from Paraguay. “The U.S. should make the expanded Argentina quota permanent and add a dedicated quota for Paraguay to increase our supply of lean beef,” the group said. “American families will see relief at the grocery store.”

(The Center Square) – Following an advisory by the Chicago inspector general’s office, the city treasurer has asked the city council to dissolve the Community Catalyst Fund and return its more than $57 million in assets to general funds. The fund was set up 10 years ago to increase access to public and private investment capital for businesses and organizations in economically underserved areas. Inspector General David Glockner said the city provided half of the $100 million initially proposed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, but the fund has been been effectively dormant since 2020. “The total balance is now about $57 million. The fund had fallen off filing its annual reports. There were also quarterly reports that were supposed to be filed with respect to the investments and were not filed,” Glockner told The Center Square. Chicago Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin is the ex officio chair of the catalyst fund’s board of directors. The fund failed to submit annual reports from 2022 to 2025. “From my perspective, it's more an indication of sort of a lack of activity and focus on the fund than anything that is sort of suspicious or nefarious,” Glockner said. Glockner said there is no indication that the money was misused. The inspector said the fund only invested about $21 million of the $50 million that it received. No private dollars were ever invested in the fund. Glockner said the fund’s investments were all made in 2020 and the money was repaid. In a July 2026 letter, OIG suggested that the city treasurer and catalyst fund board of directors comply with the board’s established ordinance by using the fund for its legislated purpose or, alternatively, the city could terminate the fund and allocate its more than $57 million in assets for other investments or general municipal purposes. In response to the advisory, through counsel, Conyears-Ervin’s office asked the city council to dissolve the fund and return its assets to general funds. The next full council meeting is scheduled for Sept. 23. When asked how quickly the money might be returned to the general fund, Glockner said it’s not his office’s role to tell the city what to do. “But I would think it's something the city likely could do pretty quickly,” the inspector said. Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office has projected a $130 million deficit for the $16.7 billion budget for 2026 passed by city council last December. Glockner said his office routinely looks at the city’s financial statements and operations. “I have no reason to think that there are other kind of $57 million pots out there, but our day job is to try to find places where the city can do better. Given the financial challenges the city is facing these days, we're pretty focused on helping the city do better from a financial perspective,” Glockner said.
