WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced a nationwide recall involving more than 167,000 pounds of meat products.
The recall encompasses beef, pork, and goat items that were manufactured without undergoing the mandatory federal inspection process, according to FSIS officials.
This is a developing story. Consumers are advised to check for specific product details and updates from the USDA.
Is goat meat really underfunded enough to slip through inspection cracks like this? Seems like an oversight nightmare waiting to happen.
167,000 pounds is a massive volume. I wonder which processing plants are responsible? Transparency would be helpful here.
Ugh, this is exactly why I only buy from local farmers I trust. Federal oversight feels increasingly hollow these days.
