Product Description & Identification
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 labels for the impacted products can be found here: [view labels].
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.
The problem was discovered after the establishment received multiple consumer complaints, five of which involved injuries. The Hillshire Brands Company conducted an investigation and determined that the wooden sticks entered the production process prior to product battering. FSIS has received no additional reports of injury from consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ refrigerators and freezers, along with school and institution refrigerators and freezers. Consumers, schools, and institutions who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.

How to Check Whether Your Product Matches
A matching product name or photograph is not enough by itself. Compare every identifier available on your item or packaging with the official notice.
- Confirm the full product and brand or recalling-firm name.
- Compare package size, color, flavor, model, style, or configuration when listed.
- Check UPC, lot, batch, serial, date code, recall number, or USDA establishment number.
- Review the recall date and distribution information without assuming every seller is listed.
- Open the official USDA source below and follow its current instructions.
If a required identifier is missing, contact the recalling company or issuing agency through the official notice rather than guessing.
