Star Meat Delivery Inc. recalls multiple products, including beef, pork

WASHINGTON – Over 167,000 pounds of raw pork, beef and goat products are being recalled by Star Meat Delivery Inc., according to health officials.

On Tuesday, the Food Safety and Inspection Service for the U.S. Department of Agriculture stated the products were produced “without the benefit of federal inspection.”

Health officials say this means the products have labels with a “false USDA mark of inspection.”

Any product bearing the false establishment number of EST. 1363 should be considered misbranded and unsafe to consume, health officials say.

According to health officials, the items were produced on various dates before Sept. 22. These products were vacuum-sealed and packed into cardboard boxes for shipment, and individual consumer packages may not bear this labeling due to stores applying their own stickers with pricing and handling instructions, the FSIS states.

The FSIS says the list of products and labels may increase as more information becomes available.

The following products, distributed in bulk under the A&D Foods label, are subject to recall:

Anyone concerned about an illness or injury should contact a healthcare provider.

According to health officials, food products without inspection runs the risk of undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria or other contaminants.

Customers who have purchased these products should not consume them. Retailers and restaurants are urged not to sell or serve these products, and the products should be thrown away or returned to their place of purchase.
