Texas-based Hillshire Brands Company is recalling about 58 million pounds of corn dog and sausage-on-a-stick products as they could be contaminated with “extraneous material, specifically pieces of wood embedded in the batter,” the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said in a Sept. 27 statement.
The recalled products “were sold online and shipped to retail and food service locations nationwide. They were also sold to school districts and Department of Defense facilities nationwide,” the FSIS, an agency under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), said.
