Shoppers may want to check their refrigerators and freezers after more than 167,000 pounds of raw meat products were recalled nationwide.<\/p>\n
Star Meat Delivery Inc. is recalling approximately 167,639 pounds of raw pork, beef, and goat products that were produced without federal inspection.<\/p>\n
They also carry labels with a false U.S. Department of Agriculture inspection mark, according to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.<\/p>\n
Federal officials said any product bearing the false establishment number “EST. 1363” should be considered misbranded and unsafe to eat.<\/p>\n
FSIS classified the recall as Class I, its highest-risk category, meaning there is a reasonable probability that eating the product could cause serious adverse health consequences.<\/p>\n
The recalled meat was shipped to A&D Foods, a distributor in Georgia, before being further distributed to retail and restaurant locations nationwide.<\/p>\n
No confirmed illnesses or injuries had been reported when the recall was announced.<\/p>\n

Shoppers should check recalled meat products<\/p>\n
The recalled raw pork, beef, and goat products were produced on various dates before Sept. 22.<\/p>\n
The products were distributed in bulk under the A&D Foods label and include goat cuts, ribeye, beef chuck, oxtail, short ribs, ground pork, pork chorizo, pork chops, pork feet, pork ribs, and other meat products.<\/p>\n

The meat was vacuum-sealed and packed into cardboard boxes for shipment.<\/p>\n
However, individual packages bought by consumers may not show the original A&D Foods packaging because retailers may have added their own pricing and safe-handling labels, according to FSIS.<\/p>\n
That could make the false establishment number “EST. 1363” particularly important for consumers trying to identify recalled products.<\/p>\n
Look at the complete list here.<\/p>\n
Why was the meat recalled?<\/p>\n
The products were recalled because they were produced without federal inspection.<\/p>\n
USDA inspection is required for raw meat sold in interstate commerce and is designed to verify that products meet federal safety, wholesomeness, and labeling requirements.<\/p>\n
FSIS said food produced without inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants that could put consumers at risk.<\/p>\n
Consumers are advised not to eat the recalled products.<\/p>\n
FSIS is urging shoppers to throw the meat away or return it to the place of purchase. Restaurants and retailers should also stop selling or serving affected products.<\/p>\n
Federal officials said they are concerned some of the recalled meat may still be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers, as well as at restaurants and retailers.<\/p>\n
