July 22, 2016 — A recall has been issued for Bar-S hotdogs and corndogs due to possible contamination with Listeria.
The USDA announced the recall due to recurring Listeria issues at the firm. However, no products actually tested positive for Listeria and no illnesses have been reported.
Eating food contaminated with Listeria can cause severe food poisoning, especially in children under 5, older adults, people with weak immune systems, and pregnant women.
Anyone in these high-risk groups who develops a flu-like illness within two months of eating recalled food should seek medical attention and tell the doctor about eating Listeria-tainted food.
Bar-S is recalling the following products:
- Bar-S Classic Bun-Length Franks (1-lb): Made with chicken, pork added. Use-By Date of 10/11/2016. Case code 209

The symptoms of a Listeria infection are fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. In some cases, these symptoms are preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal problems. Listeria infection can become invasive, spread to the bloodstream, and cause bacteremia or meningitis. In pregnant women, the infection can also cause miscarriage or stillbirth.
