Recall Issued for Unapproved Meat Products in Bay Area

San Francisco Oakland San Jose, CA, September 23, 2026 —
A recall has been issued for raw pork, beef, and goat products sold in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area due to a lack of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) approval. The affected products are being identified as misbranded and unsafe for consumption.
The recall specifically targets meat products that bear the establishment number “EST. 1363”. This number is reportedly false, indicating that the products have not undergone the necessary federal inspection and approval processes required for food safety and sale. Consumers are advised to discard or return any products that match this description.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) typically oversees the inspection of meat, poultry, and egg products to ensure they meet safety and labeling standards. Products sold without proper USDA approval, such as those without a valid establishment number, have not been subjected to these critical safety checks.
Details regarding the specific companies or distributors involved in the sale of these unapproved products were not immediately available. Similarly, the exact quantity of products affected by this recall and the timeline of their distribution have not been publicly disclosed. The area of impact is specified as the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose region.
Consumption of meat products that have not been inspected by the USDA can pose significant health risks, as they may be contaminated with pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella, or Listeria, or may be unfit for human consumption for other reasons. The FSIS works to protect public health by ensuring the safety of meat and other regulated products.
Consumers with concerns about recalled products should contact the retailer where the product was purchased. Further information regarding the recall, including any updates or specific guidance from the FSIS, may be available through official government food safety channels.
