Beef, pork and goat products recalled nationwide as highest warning issued

More than 150,000 pounds of raw pork, beef and goat products have been recalled nationwide.

Star Meat Delivery Inc. is recalling about 167,639 pounds of raw pork, beef and goat products that were produced without federal inspection and packaged with a false USDA inspection mark, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Tuesday.

The Lucama, North Carolina, company distributed the products in bulk to a Georgia distributor for shipment to retail stores and restaurants nationwide.

The recalled products include ground pork, chorizo, pork chops, pork ribs and feet, beef ribs and oxtail, goat cuts and other meat items sold under the A&D Foods label.

They may have been repackaged by retailers and could carry store-applied stickers instead of the original product label, federal officials said.

USDA classified the recall as Class I, its most serious designation.

Consumers should not eat products bearing the establishment number “EST. 1363.” The number does not correspond to a federally inspected facility, officials said, and the USDA considers the products misbranded and unsafe.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service said the products were made on various dates before Sept. 22, 2026, and were vacuum-sealed in cardboard boxes.

The recalled products included:

No illnesses or injuries have been confirmed. However, the USDA said meat produced without inspection may contain harmful bacteria, undeclared allergens or other contaminants.

Consumers, retailers and restaurants should discard the products or return them to the place of purchase. A list of product labels is available on the USDA recall page and in the agency’s label document.
