Editor’s Note: Details of this recall were updated on October 7, 2025, to reflect an additional recalled product and to clarify distribution information involving USDA Commodity Foods donations. WASHINGTON, September 27, 2025 – The Hillshire Brands Company, a Haltom City, Tex. establishment, is recalling approximately 58,000,000 pounds of corn dog and sausage on a stick products that may be contaminated with extraneous material, specifically pieces of wood embedded in the batter, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The corn dog and sausage on a stick products were packaged between March 17, 2025, and September 26, 2025. A list of the products subject to recall can be found here: [ view product list ].

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST-582” or “P-894” printed on the packaging, or “EST. 47991” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The Jimmy Dean and State Fair products were sold online and shipped to retail and food service locations nationwide, including Department of Defense and USDA Commodity Foods donations. While the products were distributed to schools, it resulted from commercial sales and not part of food provided by the USDA for the National School Lunch Program. The Fresh to You products were sold at Canteen customer sites within vending and breakroom areas inside corporate offices, medical buildings and healthcare facilities in Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
