Nationwide Recall Issued for Over 167,000 Pounds of Meat Products Sold Without USDA Approval
Over 167,000 pounds of raw pork, beef, and goat products were recalled nationwide after being sold without official USDA approval by Star Meat Delivery, Inc.
Fresno Visalia, CA, September 24, 2026 — A nationwide recall has been initiated for more than 167,000 pounds of raw meat products, including pork, beef, and goat. The products were distributed without undergoing the necessary inspection and approval processes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The recall was announced for products sold by Star Meat Delivery, Inc. The company distributed the affected items across the country. The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) identified the lack of official USDA mark of inspection as the primary concern, indicating that the products did not meet federal food safety standards. The FSIS stated that the exact dates of production and distribution for these unapproved products were not immediately available.
Star Meat Delivery, Inc. is responsible for the recall. The company has not provided details regarding the specific types or cuts of pork, beef, and goat products included in the recall, nor has it disclosed the full list of locations or distributors to which the products were sent. The FSIS has not reported any adverse health events associated with the consumption of these products at this time.
Consumers who may have purchased raw pork, beef, or goat products from Star Meat Delivery, Inc. are advised to check their freezers and refrigerators. Information regarding the specific products covered by the recall, including identification numbers or packaging details, is expected to be released by the FSIS and the company. The FSIS is working to ensure that the recalled products are removed from commerce and that consumers are informed about the risks associated with consuming uninspected meat.
The USDA typically requires all meat products sold in commerce to bear the mark of inspection, which signifies that the meat has been inspected for wholesomeness by FSIS inspectors. Products sold without this mark have not been subject to federal safety checks. The precise quantity of products affected is cited as over 167,000 pounds. Further details regarding the recall process and any potential consumer actions will be communicated as they become available from regulatory bodies and the involved company.
