Plain-English summary

Lebanese Butcher Slaughter, Inc. of Warrenton, Virginia, is recalling approximately 902 pounds of beef, goat, and lamb products. The recall involves 406 pounds of beef cuts and 496 pounds of lamb or goat cuts, all packaged in unlabeled plastic bags. These products were sold directly to consumers from the establishment's Warrenton location on March 28-29, 2015.

The recall was initiated because the products were further processed without the benefit of full inspection and were misbranded. An FSIS inspector discovered missing inspected carcasses on March 30, 2015, leading to the determination that the meat had been processed and sold over the weekend without an inspector present. The products may or may not bear the establishment number Est. 31959 inside the USDA Mark of Inspection.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Consumers who are concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider. The recall is classified as Class I, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
