Almost 3.5 tons of hot dogs shipped to hotels and restaurants are recalled
Nearly 3.5 tons of hot dogs shipped to restaurants and hotels in Ohio and West Virginia are being recalled by AW Farms of Argillite, Kentucky, because the meat was not inspected, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced on Monday.
The recall involves approximately 6,900 pounds hot dogs that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection, according to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The ready-to-eat dogs were manufactured on various dates starting on about May 30, 2024, and have a shelf-life of 45 days, the notice stated. The recalled products bear establishment number “EST. 47635” inside the USDA mark of inspection, it added. You can view the product labels here.
The issue was uncovered when a state public health partner notified FSIS about the products, which could still be in restaurants’ or hotels’ refrigerators or freezers, the federal agency said.
The following products are part of the recall:
- 10-lb. boxes containing two 5-lb. vacuum-packed packages containing “FRENCH CITY FOODS 6″ 12-1 HOTDOGS” and “PACKED ON” with various dates since approximately May 30, 2024, represented on the label.
- 10-lb. boxes containing two 5-lb. vacuum-packed packages containing frozen “PORK, BEEF, DEXTROSE, SALT, SUGAR MAPLE GEO BROWN ALL MEAT HOTDOGS” and “PACKED ON” with various dates since approximately May 30, 2024, represented on the label.
- 10-lb. boxes containing two 5-lb. vacuum-packed packages containing frozen “GEO BROWN ALL BEEF HOTDOGS” and “PACKED ON” with various dates since approximately May 30, 2024, represented on the label.
The recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the place of purchase, the recall notice stated.
A Washington, D.C., police officer died Wednesday after being shot when a gun he was trying to recover from a storm drain accidently fired, officials said.
The officer, Wayne David, was a member of the Metropolitan Police Department for more than 25 years, said Executive Assistant Chief Jeffery Carroll.
“Wayne is a true hero to the District of Columbia, and today he gave his life to serve the visitors and the residents here,” Carroll said. “We will never forget that.”
Carroll said earlier Wednesday that officers saw someone get out of suspicious vehicle in the Northeast part of the city, take off on foot and jump onto Interstate 295. Officers saw the person throw a gun in a storm drain before fleeing on the back of a motorcycle, he said.
Police were trying to get the gun out of the drain when it went off, striking the officer at least once, Carroll said. Police are searching for the suspect who placed the gun in the drain, he said.
