Plain-English summary

AW Farms, an establishment in Argillite, Kentucky, is recalling approximately 6,900 pounds of ready-to-eat hot dog products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on July 15, 2024. The affected products include 10-lb. boxes containing two 5-lb. vacuum-packed packages of "FRENCH CITY FOODS 6" 12-1 HOTDOGS," "PORK, BEEF, DEXTROSE, SALT, SUGAR MAPLE GEO BROWN ALL MEAT HOTDOGS," and "GEO BROWN ALL BEEF HOTDOGS." These items bear establishment number EST. 47635 and were produced on various dates since approximately May 30, 2024, with a shelf-life of 45 days.

The recall was initiated because the hot dog products were produced and distributed without the benefit of federal inspection. FSIS was notified of the issue by a state public health partner and confirmed the lack of inspection during its investigation. The products were shipped to restaurant and hotel locations in Ohio and West Virginia.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. FSIS urges restaurants and hotels not to serve these items and to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
