- What you can do: Check your fridge or freezer for the recalled meat, and toss or return it.
More than 167,000 pounds of raw pork, beef, and goat have been recalled nationwide, according to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).1
The meat was sold without federal inspection, bearing a false USDA mark of inspection and posing the risk of “undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants,” FSIS announced Tuesday.
The recall was given the highest risk level, Class I, meaning there’s a reasonable chance the products will cause serious health consequences.
Which Meat Was Recalled?
The recalled meat, produced by Star Meat Delivery Inc., was distributed in bulk, vacuum-sealed packages with the false establishment number of “EST. 1363.”
