“LQNN Recalls Meat Products Due to Inspection Violations.” GovInfoNow, updated October 12, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275448-lqnn-inc-recalls-poultry-beef-and-pork-products-produced-without. Based on USDA FSIS recall #081-2015 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/lqnn-inc--recalls-poultry-beef-and-pork-products-produced-without-benefit-inspection).

Why it’s dangerous

The products were produced without federal inspection, which presents a potential for increased human health risk due to possible contamination or unsafe processing conditions. Additionally, the unauthorized use of a USDA mark of inspection misleads consumers about the safety and origin of the food.

Who’s affected

Consumers who purchased or received the recalled meat products from restaurants or retail locations in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Texas. The risk applies to anyone who consumed these uninspected items, although no adverse reactions have been confirmed.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for poultry, beef, or pork products produced prior to May 26, 2015. Look for items that may contain Establishment number 18995 inside the USDA mark of inspection on packaging, such as sliced meats, steamed buns, pate chaud, and jerky. The products were distributed to specific states including Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Texas.
