USDA Warns About Uninspected Meat From Midwest Distributor
Seven Blackwing raw beef and pork products were sold nationwide without federal inspection, posing health risks due to potential contaminants, FSIS said.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for raw beef and pork from Illinois-based Blackwing Meats, warning the products were produced without federal inspection.
- Some products included the unauthorized use of establishment number 'EST. 1996' inside a false USDA mark, with Blackwing manufacturing affected meats between April 2024 and March 2026, making it critical for consumers to check freezers.
- Affected inventory includes 5-pound boxes of 8-ounce packages of 'BLACKWING ORGANIC MEATS ORGANIC BEEF NEW YORK STRIP STEAK' and 10-pound boxes of 16-ounce packages of 'BLACKWING ORGANIC MEATS ORGANIC GROUND BEEF,' plus 12-ounce pork products.
- Consumers who purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase, as the FSIS is concerned some items may remain in retailer or consumer freezers.
- Though no illnesses have been confirmed as of March 25, consumers with questions can contact Blackwing Meats President Roger Gerber at 847-838-4888 or call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-674-6854.
