More than 167,000 pounds of pork, beef and goat meat have been recalled nationwide after federal inspectors found the products were made without required USDA inspection, according to CNN and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Star Meat Delivery Inc. of Lucama, North Carolina, recalled 167,639 pounds of products distributed through restaurants and retailers. The meat carried the false inspection mark “EST. 1363,” which the USDA said is not linked to a federally inspected facility.

The recall is classified as Class I, the USDA’s highest-risk category. The agency warned the products could contain harmful bacteria, undeclared allergens or other contaminants. No illnesses or injuries have been confirmed.

The affected products include 23 items, such as ribeye slices, beef oxtail, short ribs, goat cuts and ground pork. The products were shipped through a Georgia distributor before reaching businesses and retailers.

The USDA advised consumers not to eat the recalled meat and to return it or discard it.
