Meat exports are very sensitive and even one small scandal can cause your entire meat exports to be banned all around the globe. It would be far too large of a risk to take even from a strictly economic perspective. In addition to this meat produced for export in Argentina is slaughtered in special export approved slaughterhouses in which the importing country can send inspectors and when it arrives in the importing country it's inspected again. One batch of Argentinian beef recently skipped through import inspection, hence the recall. It was not a failed inspection and nothing has been found to be wrong with the beef.
Keep in mind the US is basically getting rid of a bunch of their food and safety regulations right now. Producers and suppliers basically stopped inspecting a bunch of stuff the same day a bunch of regulations were pulled, and now a bunch of our food is already making people sick.
A scandal like this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/food-and-drink/general/china-turned-back-an-argentine-beef-shipment-over-a-banned-antibiotic-and-america-is-about-to-import-more-beef/ar-AA2aMjnx

Wouldn't all that be a likely reason for the secrecy around where the meat is coming from?
