Foster Poultry Farms, LLC, based in Livingston, California, has issued a nationwide recall of nearly 3.8 million pounds of chicken corn dog products after reports of injuries linked to pieces of wood embedded in the batter.
According to information released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the recalled products were produced between July 30, 2024, and August 4, 2025, and carry establishment number “P-6137B” on the USDA mark of inspection or packaging.
The items were shipped to retailers, institutions, the Department of Defense, and USDA Commodity Foods programs across the country.
While some products were distributed to schools, officials clarified they were the result of commercial sales and not part of the National School Lunch Program.
The problem surfaced after FSIS received a consumer complaint involving an injury, followed by additional reports sent to the company.
Officials say there are at least five documented injuries connected to the contaminated corn dogs.
Anyone who believes they may have been harmed should seek medical attention.
USDA officials warn that some of the products could still be in home or institutional freezers. Consumers are urged not to eat the recalled items but instead throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
A full list of affected products and packaging labels is available through FSIS.
