WASHINGTON (WSVN) — Star Meat Delivery Inc., based in Lucama, North Carolina, is recalling approximately 167,639 pounds of raw pork, beef and goat products produced without federal inspection, federal officials announced yesterday.
The recalled meat products bear a false mark of inspection displaying establishment number “EST. 1363,” which does not hold a federal grant of inspection, according to federal regulators.
The raw meat items were shipped to A&D Foods, a distributor in Georgia, for subsequent distribution to retail and restaurant locations nationwide.
Federal officials noted that individual retail packages may not reflect this establishment number because retail stores may have applied their own pricing and safe handling labels.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service discovered the issue during routine surveillance activities.
There have been no confirmed reports of illness or injury associated with the recalled products, officials said.
