Nearly 7,000 pounds of hot dogs recalled due to lack of inspection
Recalled hot dogs were shipped to restaurants, hotels in Ohio and West Virginia
Nearly 7,000 pounds of hot dogs are being recalled after officials discovered the products weren't properly inspected.
Kentucky-based AW Farms issued the recall after the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) was notified by state officials that the hot dogs were produced and distributed without the benefit of federal inspection.
According to the recall notice posted by FSIS, the recalled ready-to-eat hot dogs were produced since approximately May 30, 2024, and have a shelf-life of 45 days. After production, they were shipped to restaurant and hotel locations in Ohio and West Virginia, according to the notice.
