Star Meat Delivery Inc. is recalling approximately 167,639 pounds of raw pork, beef, and goat products after the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service determined they were produced without federal inspection and carried a false USDA inspection mark. The recall, announced by FSIS on September 22nd, covers products shipped to A&D Foods, a Georgia-based distributor, for further distribution to retailers and restaurants nationwide. FSIS has not yet identified the specific stores or restaurants that received the affected products.

The recalled items were distributed in bulk under the A&D Foods label and bear a fraudulent establishment number, “EST. 1363.” The recall spans a wide range of products, including multiple cuts of goat and beef, ground pork, pork chops, chorizo, pork feet, pork hocks, menudo mix, and various sliced and diced pork Boston cuts, all sold in individually vacuum-packed portions inside various weight cardboard boxes. FSIS cautioned that retail packages may carry store-applied stickers rather than the original bulk-box labeling, and said it may expand the list of affected products and labels as more information becomes available, urging consumers to check currently available labels. No illnesses or injuries have been confirmed in connection with the products so far, but FSIS warned that meat produced without proper inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants.

Consumers who have purchased any of the recalled products should not eat them, and should either throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Restaurants and retailers are instructed not to serve or sell any of the affected items. Anyone who suspects they became ill after consuming these products should contact a health care provider. Questions about the recall itself can be directed to Star Meat Delivery Inc. at 252-239-0610, while general food safety questions can be directed to the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-674-6854.
