Mary Walrath-Holdridge reports:

More than 160,000 pounds of raw meat sold nationwide has been recalled for being "unsafe to eat," according to a Sept. 22 notice from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). 

The more than 80 tons of raw pork, beef and goat were packaged and sold with fake USDA labels, according to FSIS, and were not actually properly inspected by the agency. As a result, the 167,639 pounds of recalled meat could be contaminated or contain undisclosed ingredients or allergens. 

Star Meat Delivery Inc. initiated the recall after standard FSIS surveillance uncovered the false labels. While Star Meat produced the products, they were distributed by A&D Foods.
