Foster Poultry Farms, a renowned chicken product manufacturer, is recalling over 3.8 million pounds of chicken corn dog products due to a serious health concern. Reports indicate that wood fragments were discovered in the batter, leading to multiple injuries among consumers. This alarming situation prompted the company to issue a formal recall notice, which was posted on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) website on Saturday.
The recall affects chicken corn dog products produced between July 30, 2024, and August 4, 2025. These products were sold under several names, including Chicken Corn Dogs Batter Wrapped Chicken Frankfurters on a Stick and Corn Dogs Chicken Franks Dipped in Honey Batter. Consumers can find the complete list of affected products by visiting the FSIS website, where all names and labels of the contaminated items are detailed.
As part of the recall, Foster Poultry Farms has advised all consumers and institutions that purchased these contaminated products to refrain from consuming them. Instead, the company recommends that these products be either discarded or returned to the original point of purchase. This precautionary measure is crucial to ensure public safety and prevent further injuries.
This significant recall comes just a week after another major incident involving Hillshire Brands, a Texas-based subsidiary of Tyson Foods. Hillshire Brands recalled approximately 58 million pounds of corn dogs and other sausage-on-a-stick products, highlighting ongoing safety concerns within the industry.
Consumers are urged to stay informed about food safety recalls and to regularly check the FSIS website for updates. Maintaining awareness of these recalls can help prevent potential health risks associated with contaminated food products.
