58M pounds of corn dogs and sausage-on-a-stick products recalled because wood pieces may be inside

About 58 million pounds of corn dogs and other sausage-on-a-stick products are being recalled across the U.S. because pieces of wood may be embedded in the batter, with several consumers reporting injuries to date. According to a Saturday notice published by the Agriculture Department's Food Safety and Inspection Service, the recall covers select "State Fair Corn Dogs on a Stick” and “Jimmy Dean Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick” products from Texas-based Hillshire Brands, which is a subsidiary of Tyson Foods. The contamination problem was discovered after Hillshire received multiple consumer complaints, the service notes, five of which involved injuries.
