In a significant move to protect public health, AdvancePierre Foods, Inc., a subsidiary of food giant Tyson Foods, has initiated a massive recall spanning approximately 5.8 million pounds of various corn dog and sausage stick products. This urgent action comes after reports of potential foreign material contamination, specifically extraneous plastic, which poses a serious health risk to consumers.
The U.S.
Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the Class I recall, signifying a high health risk where there is a reasonable probability that consumption of the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The contamination was first brought to light through consumer complaints, with individuals reporting finding pieces of plastic within the popular frozen snack items.
Affected products were produced between July 19, 2023, and January 5, 2024, and bear establishment number “EST.
M-26” or “P-26” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The recall encompasses a wide array of brands sold under both AdvancePierre Foods, Inc. and Tyson Foods, Inc. labels. Consumers are advised to check their freezers for items such as "Great Value" corn dogs, "Bar-S" corn dogs, "Wampler's" sausage and pancake on a stick, "Family Pack" corn dogs, and "Yummy" brand corn dogs and mini pancake and sausage on a stick products.
A full list of specific product names and codes is available on the FSIS website.
The presence of plastic in these products is a grave concern, presenting potential choking hazards and the risk of oral injury. While there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions or injuries directly linked to the consumption of these recalled items, the potential for harm necessitates immediate action from consumers.
FSIS and AdvancePierre Foods are urging consumers to take this recall seriously.
If you have purchased any of the affected corn dog or sausage stick products, do not consume them. Instead, consumers should immediately dispose of the products or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. It is crucial to verify lot codes and "best by" dates on packaging, as not all products from these brands are affected.
This recall serves as a critical reminder of the importance of food safety and vigilance.
Consumers with questions regarding the recall can contact AdvancePierre Foods directly through their dedicated consumer hotline, or visit the FSIS website for the most up-to-date information. Protecting public health remains the top priority in situations like these, and swift consumer action is key to preventing potential harm.
