Foster Poultry Farms Recalls 3.8M Pounds of Chicken Corn Dogs
Foster Poultry Farms has announced a significant recall of over 3.8 million pounds of chicken corn dog products. The decision follows reports of foreign objects, specifically wood, found in the batter. This contamination has resulted in at least five reported injuries.
Details of the Recall
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) revealed that the affected products were manufactured between July 30, 2024, and August 4, 2025. Consumers should be aware that these products fall under several different names, including:
- Chicken Corn Dogs Batter Wrapped Chicken Frankfurters on a Stick
- Corn Dogs Chicken Franks Dipped in Honey Batter
- Various other brand names
Anyone who purchased these items can find the complete list of affected products on the FSIS website. The recalled items bear the establishment number “P-6137B,” which can be located on the packaging or within the USDA mark of inspection.
Consumer Guidance
It is crucial for consumers and food institutions to take immediate action. The FSIS advises that recalled products must not be consumed. Instead, they should be discarded or returned to the retailer for a refund.
Recent Trends in Food Recalls
This recall comes just a week after Hillshire Brands, a subsidiary of Tyson Foods, recalled 58 million pounds of corn dogs and similar products also due to contamination. The prevalence of foreign object contamination remains a pressing issue in the food industry.
Food recalls due to unsafe materials like plastic, metal, and wood are increasingly common. Such extraneous materials can seriously compromise food safety, prompting companies to initiate recalls to protect consumers.
