Here is something you don’t hear everyday: Hillshire Brands, a subsidiary of Tyson Foods, has recalled some 58 million pounds of corn dogs and sausage-on-a-stick products saying they “may be contaminated with extraneous material, specifically pieces of wood embedded in the batter,” according to the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The problem was discovered after the Tyson Foods subsidiary received multiple consumer complaints, five of which involved injuries. Upon investigation, Hillshire Brands determined that the wooden sticks entered the production process prior to product battering. FSIS has received no additional reports of injury from consumption of these products.
The agency is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ refrigerators and freezers, along with school and institution refrigerators and freezers.
What is the product information for the recall?
The corn dog and sausage-on-a-stick products were packaged between March 17, 2025, and September 26, 2025. The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST-582” or “P-894” printed on the packaging. Here’s a list of the products subject to recall:
