Frozen beef imported from Argentina under Trump's plan to lower US beef prices has been recalled over safety concerns, bad news for shoppers and for American ranchers.

• Thousands of pounds of Argentine frozen beef were pulled from shelves in Florida and Texas over safety worries.
• Trump opened the door to far more Argentine beef this year, citing his alliance with Argentina's Javier Milei.
• Cattle ranchers say the imports won't cut store prices and will squeeze US herds, which take years to rebuild.
• China has rejected Argentine beef over a banned antibiotic, from a plant the US also buys from.
• Shoppers can't tell where their beef comes from because there's no country-of-origin label, a fight now tied up in the farm bill.

Outlook: Pressure will grow for mandatory origin labeling as more imported beef arrives and ranchers push back.
