Luckily, this news broke nearly two weeks after the 4th of July, otherwise, we would have been a nation in distress. Unfortunately, over the weekend it was noted that over 7 million pounds of Hot Dogs were recalled due to bone shards making their way into the product. The hot dog recall concerns itself with the products that were produced between March 17, 2017, and July 4, 2017. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service, some of their officials were tipped off with complaints that came in through the agency's Consumer Compliant Monitoring System on July 10. There has only been one reported, albeit minor, injury associated with the hot dog recall. With this being said, we beg you not to take the chance here. Either throw them out or return them to your place of purchase. To note, several brands were affected during this hot dog recall, including: Sabrett, Western Beef, Stew Leonard, Papaya King, Nathan's, and Katz's Delicatessen. These products were sold in both retail and private stores to customers, including larger institutions like hotels and restaurants. Below is the full list of affected products.
