Hot dog recall after producer misses federal safety inspection
Nearly 7,000 lbs dogs have been recalled after the supplier skipped a key federal inspection.
AW Farms, a Kentucky-based food company, has issued a recall after the products were produced without the necessary federal inspections.
The ready-to-eat hot dogs were produced on or after May 30 and have a shelf life of 45 days, according to the recall notice.
Most will be in hotel or restaurant refrigerators - since the packs are sold wholesale to hospitality companies.
Scroll down to see full details of the three different types of products affected by the recall.
Thousands of pounds worth of hot dog products have been urgently recalled
AW Farms has issued a recall for 6,900 pounds of its hot dog products
The bulk products were sent to restaurant and hotel locations in Ohio and West Virginia, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) confirmed.
The issue was discovered when the FSIS was made aware of the inspection oversight by a state public health partner, the agency explained.
The FSIS is asking restaurants and hotels to check if any of the products have made their way into their fridges and freezers.
If so, establishments are urged not to serve the products but dispose of them immediately.
There have been no reported adverse effects from consumers eating the hot dogs but anyone concerned is urged to contact their healthcare providers.
Earlier this month more than 2,000 pounds of chicken products were recalled after a possible listeria contamination was detected.
The bacteria can cause listeriosis that can be fatal to the elderly, young children and the immunocompromised.
