Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for raw, fresh goat meat products produced without the benefit of federal inspection and outside inspection hours. The affected products were produced by Texas Livestock and Halal Meat Processors in Houston, Texas, between November 7, 2020, and December 5, 2020. A formal recall was not requested because the affected product is believed to be no longer available for consumers to purchase.
The products subject to the alert include various weights of raw, fresh goat carcasses, livers, kidneys, and hearts sold at World Foods Warehouse, a grocery store and butcher in Houston, Texas. The products may or may not bear a stamped USDA mark of inspection with the establishment number “00915.” The issue was discovered after FSIS received an anonymous tip that the firm conducted slaughter operations outside of their approved hours of operation.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. However, FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
