USDA issues public alert on beef and pork with undeclared sesame
The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert regarding raw beef and pork products due to mislabeling and an undeclared allergen.
Products may contain sesame, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. No recall has been requested as the products are no longer available for purchase.
The raw beef and pork products were produced between December 1, 2025 and April 6, 2026. The following products are subject to the public health alert:
- 1.5 pounds. clear plastic containers with safety lids containing “QUALITY MEAT SKY RANCH PREMIUM PROVISIONS MARINATED BEEF RIBEYE ROLL /BULGOGI” with “SELL BY” dates from “DEC.11.25” to “APR.16.26”.

The products bear the establishment number “EST. 1377” printed inside with USDA inspection mark. 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.
No adverse effects due to the consumption of these products have been confirmed. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a health care provider.
FSIS is concerned that some products may be found in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are asked not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
