Foster Poultry Farms Recalls Chicken Corn Dogs Contaminated with Wood

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Foster Poultry Farms, a Livingston, Calif. establishment, is recalling approximately 3,843,040 pounds of chicken corn dog products that may be contaminated with extraneous material, specifically pieces of wood embedded in the batter, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.

The products subject to recall were produced between July 30, 2024, through Aug. 4, 2025. A list of the products subject to recall can be found here. The labels for the impacted products can be found here.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-6137B” either inside the USDA mark of inspection or printed on the packaging. These items were shipped to retail and institutional 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, said the agency.

The problem was discovered after FSIS received a consumer complaint involving an injury from consumption of these products. Foster Poultry Farms received multiple consumer complaints, five of which involved injuries. Anyone concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare provider, said USDA.

FSIS said it is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ refrigerators and freezers, along with institution refrigerators and freezers. Consumers and institutions who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them, said FSIS. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Foster Farms Consumer Affairs at 1-800-338-8051, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Pacific Time, Monday through Friday, or email info@fosterfarms.com.
