Raw Meat Products Recalled in Raleigh-Durham Area for Unapproved Sale
Raw pork, beef, and goat products are subject to a recall in the Raleigh-Durham (Fayetteville) area after being sold without USDA approval. Products marked with the false establishment number "EST. 1363" are considered misbranded and unsafe.
Raleigh Durham, NC, September 24, 2026 —
A recall has been issued for raw pork, beef, and goat products that were sold without the necessary approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The affected products were distributed in the Raleigh-Durham and Fayetteville areas.
The reason for the recall is that these meat products were sold without USDA approval, rendering them misbranded and potentially unsafe for consumption. A key indicator for the recalled products is the presence of a false establishment number, specifically “EST. 1363”, printed on the packaging. This establishment number is not recognized by the USDA, signaling that the products did not undergo the required inspection and approval processes.
The specific types of products affected include raw pork, raw beef, and raw goat products. The recall was initiated to protect public health by ensuring consumers do not inadvertently purchase or consume meat that has not met federal safety standards. Details regarding the exact timeline of distribution or the quantity of affected products have not been provided.
Consumers who may have purchased these products are advised to check their packaging for the misprinted establishment number. Information on the specific retailers or vendors involved in the distribution of these unapproved products was not immediately available. The USDA typically oversees the safety and labeling of meat products through a rigorous inspection system, and the use of false or unapproved establishment numbers circumvents these critical safety measures.
The contractor or company responsible for the distribution of these products has not been publicly identified in the initial recall information. Further details regarding the recall process and any consumer guidance will be provided as they become available through official channels.
