Hot Dogs Recalled, May Be Undercooked

About 40,000 pounds of chicken franks and turkey hot dogs have been recalled because they may have been undercooked, the U.S. Agriculture Department said. Florida-based Lykes Meat Group Inc. voluntarily recalled all 16-ounce packages of chicken franks and turkey hot dogs that bear “P-2653” on the label. The USDA said no illnesses have been reported from the products, which were produced Aug. 14. The items include Fairgrounds jumbo franks made with chicken and pork, code-dated “227002A, use by Oct. 23”; Smithfield grill-ready chicken franks, code-dated “227002A, use by Oct. 13”; and Smithfield premium hot dogs made with turkey, pork and beef, code-dated “227002B, use by Oct. 13” or “Use by Oct. 23.” The products were distributed in several states, including California.
