FSIS warns the products could still be in home, school, or institutional freezers, and urges everyone to check their freezers immediately for the following products:

Hillshire Brands Company announced the recall after an investigation determined that wooden sticks entered the production process before the battering stage, contaminating the final products. The recall covers select “State Fair Corn Dogs on a Stick” and “Jimmy Dean Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick” products from Hillshire Brands because pieces of wood may be embedded in the batter.

The recalled items bear establishment numbers "EST-582" or "P-894" on their packaging and were sold both online and in retail stores. Affected items should be thrown away or returned.
