Popular Hot Dogs Recalled Due to Metal Objects

A recall of over 100 tons of hot dogs over possible metal contamination.

According to the USDA, the beef franks were produced on January 26, 2017.

The two products that are affected are:

• 14 oz. sealed packages of Nathan’s skinless eight-count beef franks with a use-by date of August 19, 2017
• 16 oz. sealed packages of Curtis Beef Master beef franks with a use-by date of June 15, 2017.

The company said they received three complaints of metal objects in the hot dogs which prompted the recall. Affected items were shipped nationwide and have “EST. 296” on the side of the packaging.

There have been no confirmed reported injuries or illness due to the consumption of these products, but consumers are advised to throw away any affected items or return them to the place of purchase.
