Recall: This Time It’s Hot Dogs and Corn Dogs
Just a couple of weeks after July 4, one of the biggest hot-dog eating holidays of the year, Bar-S Brand Foods is issuing a recall of over 350,000 pounds of wieners and corn dogs. It's because of possible listeria contamination. The recall affects both chicken and pork products. So far, there are no reports of illness, but the United States Department of Agriculture says consumers should not eat them.
