Pork, Beef and Goat Recalled Nationwide as Highest Warning Issued
About 167,639 pounds of raw beef, pork and goat products are being recalled because they were produced without federal inspection.
Star Meat Delivery Inc. is recalling approximately 167,639 pounds of raw beef, pork, and goat due to a lack of federal inspection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on Tuesday. The Class I recall indicates a health hazard, where there is a reasonable probability that using the product could cause serious health consequences or death.
The faulty USDA mark of inspection is marked with "EST. 1363," and the FSIS advises consumers to avoid consumption of such products. The recall stems from an issue detected during FSIS surveillance activities. The recalled products were produced and distributed in bulk under the A&D Foods label to restaurants and retail outlets nationwide.
They were packaged in vacuum-sealed cardboard boxes, and individual consumer packages might not carry the labeling. The FSIS did not report any confirmed injuries or illnesses related to the recall. The following products are included in the recall: various weight cardboard boxes containing individually vacuum-packed A&D Foods. The FSIS warns that consumers, retailers, and restaurants might still have the recalled products in their possession and urges them not to consume or sell the goods.
Instead, the products should be returned to the place of purchase or discarded. This recall is among a series of recent food recalls concerning foodborne illnesses, contamination, lack of inspection, or undeclared food allergens.
