6,900 pounds of hot dogs recalled for not being inspected

Put down that summertime dog! Not all of them, of course, we wouldn't be that cruel, just these.

The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced on Monday that nearly 7,000 pounds of hot dogs were being recalled because they were “produced without the benefit of federal inspection.”

The ready-to-eat meat tubes come from AW Farms of Argillite, a Kentucky meat manufacturer, and were produced on dates starting May 30, 2024, the agency reported.

The agency added that some of the hot dogs may be in restaurants’ and hotels’ refrigerators or freezers. They have a reported shelf-life of 45 days.

Restaurants and hotels are being urged not to serve the hot dogs but instead throw them away or return them to where they were purchased.

The products being recalled include the following:

10-pound boxes containing two 5-pound vacuum-packed packages containing “FRENCH CITY FOODS 6” 12-1 HOTDOGS”

10-pound boxes containing two 5-pound vacuum-packed packages containing frozen “PORK, BEEF, DEXTROSE, SALT, SUGAR MAPLE GEO BROWN ALL MEAT HOTDOGS”

10-pound boxes containing two 5-pound vacuum-packed packages containing frozen “BEEF, DEXTROSE, SALT, SUGAR MAPLE GEO BROWN ALL BEEF HOTDOGS”

As of Monday, the USDA says there have not been any adverse reactions because of the recalled products. Anyone who consumed one and is concerned should reach out to their health care provider.
