A USDA Mark of Inspection Is More Than a Stamp
On September 22, 2026, USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall of approximately 167,639 pounds of raw pork, beef, and goat products that had been produced without the benefit of federal inspection. But there was another detail that made this recall particularly notable. According to FSIS, the products carried a false USDA mark of inspection bearing establishment number “EST. 1363.” FSIS stated that the number does not have a federal grant of inspection.
