Foster Farms Recalls 3.84M Chicken Corn Dogs After Wood

Foster Poultry Farms recalled 3,843,040 pounds of chicken corn dogs after pieces of wood were found embedded in the batter, prompting at least five reported injuries and numerous consumer complaints. The FSIS recall covers 16 product varieties — including gluten-free, jumbo and whole-grain recipes — produced July 30, 2024 through Aug. 4, 2025, bearing establishment number P-6137B, and distributed nationwide to retail and institutional locations, including schools, Department of Defense sites and USDA Commodity Food donations. FSIS said its investigation determined wooden sticks entered the production process before battering. Consumers and institutions are urged not to eat affected items and to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase while FSIS conducts recall-effectiveness checks. The Foster Farms recall comes days after a much larger, related corn-dog recall by Hillshire Brands/Tyson of nearly 58–60 million pounds, and full lists of affected package sizes, labels, use-by dates and contact numbers are available on FSIS and company websites.
