( WJW ) – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced a massive meat recall on more than 167,000 pounds of raw pork, beef and goat products that officials said were produced without federal inspection.

According to the nationwide recall alert , Star Meat Delivery Inc., located in Lucama, N.C., is recalling the meat, which officials said is labeled with a false USDA mark of inspection.

“Food produced without inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants that put consumer health and safety at risk,” warned USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. “FSIS is concerned that some product may be in the refrigerators or freezers of consumers, restaurants, or retailers.”

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products are urged not to eat them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

The USDA warns that any products with the false establishment number “EST. 1363” are not safe to consume. Other identifying details may include a production date before Sept. 22, 2026, and a label reading “A&D Foods.”

The FSIS said the problem was uncovered during “surveillance activities.” The FSIS notes that as more information becomes available, more items could be added to the product list.

Currently, consumers can visit the FSIS website for a complete list of recalled products, and to view available labels of the impacted products.

There had been no confirmed reports of illness as of Tuesday. Anyone concerned about an illness is encouraged to contact a healthcare provider.
