NEW YORK (AP) — About 58 million pounds of corn dogs and other sausage-on-a-stick products are being recalled across the U.S. because pieces of wood may be embedded in the batter, with several consumers reporting injuries to date.According to a Saturday notice published by the Agriculture Department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the recall covers select “State Fair Corn Dogs on a Stick” and “Jimmy Dean Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick” products from Texas-based Hillshire Brands, which is a subsidiary of Tyson Foods.The contamination problem was discovered after Hillshire received multiple consumer complaints, the service notes, five of which involved injuries. The company later determined that a “limited number” of these products included “extraneous pieces of wooden stick within the batter,” Tyson said in a corresponding announcement — adding that it opted to initiate a recall “out of an abundance of caution.”The recalled corn dogs and sausage-on-a-stick goods were produced between March 17 and as recently Friday, per Saturday’s recall notices. Tyson, which is headquartered in Arkansas, says the issue was isolated to one facility located in Haltom City, Texas.
>>21628315maybe stop putting inedible things inside food at all
>>21628315I don't like turkey/chicken corn dogs.
why can't I just intentionally break a piece of wood off the stick and swallow it and call an ambulance? won't I get millions of dollars?
That's a fucking lot of corn dogs. Normally when you read about a food recall, it'll be for like a couple truckloads. How did they let 58 fucking million pounds go bad?
>>21628315Do yurpeens really eat wood like this?
>>21628315So what happened, a stick somehow fell into a vat of batter? If this happened while it was getting dipped in batter wouldn't a hot dog have gotten dropped in the vat too? How does just a stick get in there?
>>21628315>>21628495it means basically none of the nonwhites/migrants hired to constantly monitor, inspect and clean the machines at this facility were doing their job for almost half a year and that should scare the shit out of you.
>>21628315If I actually had any of these and saw this recall, I'd just be slightly more careful when eating them.
thank goodness I buy the morningstar corndogs
>>21628465How many corndogs is 58 mil pounds? Wouldnt this be the entire countries 3 year supply of battered weenors??
>>21628495I'm betting there's a machine that inserts sticks into dogs (and other "sausage on a stick products" as well, it seems). I'd also bet that that machine was the problem. Could've been every 104th stick jammed into a dog was cracked due to tolerances shifting, and then maybe every 48th cracked stick actually splintered. It's inside the product so you can't see it, that could get by QC pretty easily. Don't get me wrong, that's a shit ton of product, and I'm sure they're recalling more than there's actual evidence for, but damn.
>>21628522>How many corndogs is 58 mil pounds?Enough to feed one (1) stadium of Americans
>>21628465Probably they can't narrow down which plant caused the problem so they're recalling all their products nationwide.
>>21628522the pic has a 6 box and weighs 12 oz. no idea if that includes the box but anyway>12oz=0.75 lbs>0.75/6 dogs = 0.125 lbs/dog>58mil lbs/.125lbs = 464,000,000so 464 million corn dogs
>>21628549>Probably they can't narrow down which plant caused the problem>>21628315>the issue was isolated to one facility located in Haltom City, TexasHow did you learn to write without learning how to read?
>>21628540>get by QC pretty easily.Having AI look at every 10,000th dog from the outside is not QC.
Can someone make a visual representation of how 'orn 'ogs that actually is? I can't picture how much space 58 million 'orn 'ogs takes up IRL. Could that many cover a football field if laid next to each other in a single layer?
>>21628315you ain't taking my damn corndogs nigger
>>21628315bros...i ate frozen corn dogs all weekend...
>>21628606You are gonna shit out a wooden log
>>21628606beaver detectedgo build us a dam to protect our board from women
>>21628562If all those corn dogs were laid end to end they would be the length of more than three million football fields.
>>21628315it should sayRETARD ALERTbecause only fat retarded americans eat those.
>>21628562>>21628730464 million corndogs laid end-to-end in a single layer would stretch across about 644,444 football fields.
>>21628435or in butts and vagoos
>>21628737Is that like the entirety of the US? I feel like 644,444 football fields would cover the whole continent.
>>21628774justfuckin do mathplug numbers into google
>>21628774Guam is bigger
>>21628558Right? I'm glad we agree then.
>>21628786I don't have access to AI.
>>21628462You really want to risk killing yourself over a couple million dollars?
>>21628774That's an area. Effect of the square root is a bitch.If we sqare root them we get 803 fields per direction. With 110x49m that means they would cover 88.4x39.4km.Not a baby mind you, but by far not enough to cover the whole states or just one state.
What are they going to do with them?
>>21628832you don't have access to the internet?
>>21628909No.
>>21628315>pieces of wooden stick in the batteroh so it's fucking nothing anyone who's not retarded needs to worry about? salmonella, e. coli, that shit's fucked. but only fat fucking retards who literally inhale corndogs in one bite would be affected by this.58 million pounds for 5 landwhales who can't pace themselves and chew thoroughly, lmao
>>21628315>“State Fair Corn Dogs on a Stick” and “Jimmy Dean Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick” products from Texas-based Hillshire Brands, which is a subsidiary of Tyson Foods.This is normal in a healthy economy
>>21628465I think the reality is that almost all of the boxes have already been eaten since the recall started at March dates
>>21628315They should replace the wooden sticks with edible sticks made of hard waffle
>>21628558In modern manufacturing multiple cameras take pictures or every single piece of product that goes out and the pictures are kept on a server for multiple years. I work for p&g and we keep the photos for 7 years. The product also goes through a metal detector. The problem here is that the issue was basically undetectable except by x ray or something.
>>21629151That is a GREAT idea.
>>21629151Quick, you need to patent Pocky corndogs
>>21628315But the FDA was defunded, how can this be?
>>21628315Good. Anyone who eats corndogs should be killed indiscriminately. Midwest faggot genocide when.
>>21629336Ask me how I know you've never held hands with a girl.or even a boy for that matter
>>21629349Ask me how I know you're a complete fucking retard.
>>21629361Yeah, that's the bitter directionless anger that keeps you alone and miserable your whole life.
>>21629362Lol. I'm laying in bed with my wife right now moron. That's what I mean. That's how I know you're completely, unmitigatedly retarded.
>>21629367You're spewing rage on the 4chan cooking board for over an hour. No son, you're not convincing.You don't have to be miserable and angry all the time.
>>21629368K
>>21628315only white trash like these, so fuck'em.
>>21628469>Do yurpeens really eat woodNo, that's an American thing.
