Hillshire Brands Company has recalled approximately 58 million pounds of corn dogs and sausage on a stick due to potential wood contamination. The recall affects products packaged between March 17 and September 26, 2025, and sold nationwide, including to schools and Department of Defense facilities. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall after receiving multiple consumer complaints, including five reports of injuries from wood pieces embedded in the batter.
The affected products include State Fair Corn Dogs on a Stick and Jimmy Dean Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick, bearing establishment numbers "EST-582" or "P-894" on their packaging. Consumers are advised not to consume these products and to either dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase.
FSIS is conducting recall effectiveness checks to ensure the contaminated products are no longer available. Consumers with questions can contact Christina Self, Hillshire Brands' Associate Director of Customer Care, at 888-747-7611.
Anyone who believes they have been injured should seek medical attention. For further assistance, consumers can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-674-6854 or report issues through FSIS's Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System. The recall investigation is ongoing to ensure all affected products are removed from circulation.
