Massive Meat Recall Affects Beef, Pork and More: USDA
The highest-risk recall covers more than 20 products, and USDA says no illnesses have been reported.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a recall of 167,639 pounds of raw beef, pork, and goat meat produced by North Carolina-based Star Meat Delivery, Inc. without federal inspection.
- The products bore false inspection marks featuring establishment number "EST 1363," which the USDA noted lacks a federal grant of inspection, raising concerns about undeclared allergens and contaminants.
- Items were shipped to A&D Foods in Georgia for national distribution to retailers and restaurants, with more than 20 individual products affected by the recall.
- While no illnesses have been linked to the meat, the agency warns consumers, retailers, and restaurants to check freezers and refrigerators, urging them to discard or return affected goods.
- Numerous recalls have been issued this year nationwide, yet experts note that such alerts demonstrate the food-safety system functioning as designed by identifying and removing potential risks.
