Fresh Goat Meat Products
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for raw, fresh goat meat products—including carcasses, livers, kidneys, and hearts—that were slaughtered without federal inspection. Texas Livestock and Halal Meat Processors in Houston slaughtered these goats on various dates between November 7, 2020 and December 5, 2020, and the products were sold at World Foods Warehouse in Houston. The products may or may not have a USDA inspection mark, but the hazard is that they were produced outside the establishment's approved operating hours and without inspection oversight. No confirmed illnesses have been reported from consuming these products.
Consumers who purchased these products should not eat them and should throw them away or return them to World Foods Warehouse. FSIS believes the affected product is no longer available for purchase but is concerned that some may remain in consumers' freezers or refrigerators. Anyone who believes they experienced an adverse reaction from consuming these products should contact a healthcare provider.

Produced Without Benefit of Inspection
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for raw, fresh goat meat products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and outside inspection hours. A recall was not requested because it is believed that the affected product is no longer available for consumers to purchase. The goats were slaughtered by Texas Livestock and Halal Meat Processors, a Houston, Texas establishment, on various dates from Nov. 7, 2020 through Dec. 5, 2020. The following products are subject to the public health alert: Various weights of raw, fresh goat carcasses, livers, kidneys and hearts sold at World Foods Warehouse, a grocery store and butcher, in Houston, Texas. The products were shipped to the one retail location and then sold to consumers. The products may or may not bear a stamped USDA mark of inspection with the establishment number “00915”. The problem was discovered when FSIS received an anonymous tip that the firm conducted slaughter operations outside of their approved hours of operation. FSIS then investigated the complaint. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers or both. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
