Indiana Firm Recalls Uncured Beef Corn Dogs Due To Possible Temperature Abuse

Agency Publication Date: September 23, 2014

Summary

Monogram Comfort Foods is recalling approximately 607 pounds of 10-ounce cartons of Applegate Naturals Gluten-free Uncured Beef Corn Dogs. These products were stored in a dry warehouse area instead of a freezer during distribution, which can lead to bacterial growth and foodborne illness. The affected corn dogs were sold in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming and have a 'Best By' date of April 21, 2015. Consumers should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Because the corn dogs were stored at room temperature instead of being kept frozen, they may have experienced 'temperature abuse,' which allows harmful bacteria to grow and poses a significant risk of food poisoning if consumed.

Verify the establishment number 'EST. 2512' which is located inside the USDA Mark of Inspection on the packaging.
