Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for various raw beef and pork products from Blackwing Meats. These products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and may bear a false mark of inspection. The affected items include vacuum-packed organic beef steaks, ground beef, stew meat, and steak strips, as well as ground pork and pork chops. The products were produced between April 2024 and March 2026.
FSIS states that food produced without inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants that pose a risk to consumer health and safety. The first four listed products include the unauthorized use of establishment number "EST. 1996" inside a false USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to wholesale and retail locations nationwide. The issue was discovered during an ongoing FSIS investigation.
There have been no confirmed reports of illness or injury due to the consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS notes that some product may be in retailer or consumer freezers.
