167,639 Pounds of Meat Recalled After USDA Inspection Bypass

The recall

A recall has been announced for 167,639 pounds of meat after the product bypassed inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The size of the recall is the central detail identified in the announcement.

What the inspection issue means

USDA inspection is the federal review process named in the recall notice. The meat was recalled because it did not go through that inspection process.

What to check

Consumers and businesses should look for additional recall instructions from the responsible agency or company before deciding what to do with any meat connected to the recall. Those instructions would identify the affected products and explain handling or disposal steps.

The recall concerns a large quantity of meat, but the announcement does not identify the product name, producer, packaging information, distribution area or dates. Those details are needed to determine whether a particular package is included.
