Argentina Orders Withdrawal of Dangerous Cheese from Supermarkets

The Argentine national food safety authority ANMAT recently mandated the removal of the "Queso Cremoso La Agustina" cheese from all supermarkets across the country after identifying that it breached legal and sanitary standards and posed a threat to public health. This decision emphasizes the importance of rigorous internal controls and traceability in food production chains to maintain consumer trust.

Following an inspection by health organizations, it was determined that the cheese did not comply with legal definitions and was found to be potentially hazardous due to unsafe production processes. The directive now calls for an immediate withdrawal of the product from all store shelves, with a ban on any advertising or sales that represent the cheese as a legitimate dairy product.
