The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for raw beef and pork products because of misbranding and an undeclared allergen. 

The products may contain sesame, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase.

The raw beef and pork items were produced from December 1, 2025, through April 6, 2026. The following products are subject to the public health alert:

The products have establishment number “EST. 1377” printed inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to Lotte Plaza Market retail locations in Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia.

The problem was discovered by FSIS personnel during a routine label review. FSIS personnel noticed the use of sesame oil in the products, but sesame was not declared as an ingredient on the label.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a health care provider.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. 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.
