Foster Poultry Farms recalls nearly 4 million pounds of chicken corn
dogs due to wood in batter
[October 06, 2025]
NEW YORK (AP) — Chicken product maker Foster Poultry Farms is
recalling more than 3.8 million pounds of chicken corn dog products
after wood was found in the batter, resulting in injuries.
According to a notice posted Saturday on the Agriculture Department’s
Food Safety and Inspection Service site, the company, based in
Livingston, California, received numerous complaints about finding wood
in the batter of the products, including reports of at least five
injuries.
The chicken corn dog products were made between July 30, 2024, and Aug.
4, 2025, and sold under a variety of names, including Chicken Corn Dogs
Batter Wrapped Chicken Frankfurters on a Stick, Corn Dogs Chicken Franks
Dipped in Honey Batter, and other names. All names and labels of the
contaminated products can be found on the FSIS site. The products
subject to recall have the number “P-6137B” printed either inside the
USDA mark of inspection or printed on the packaging.

 Consumers and institutions who
purchased these products should not consume them. They should be
thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
The recall follows a recall a week earlier of 58
million pounds of corn dogs and other sausage-on-a-stick products
made by Texas-based Hillshire Brands, which is a subsidiary of Tyson
Foods.
Foreign object contamination is one of the top reasons for food
recalls in the U.S. Beyond plastic, metal fragments, bits of bugs
and more “extraneous” materials have prompted recalls by making
their way into packaged goods.
