The ready to eat hot dogs were produced on various dates since about May 30, 2024, and have a shelf life of 45 days. They include:

These products have the establishment number “EST. 47635” stamped inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to restaurant and hotel locations in Ohio and West Virginia. You can see pictures of the product labels at the USDA web site.
The problem was discovered when FSIS was notified by a state public health partner about the hot dogs. They investigated and found that they were produced and distributed without the benefit of federal inspection.
Any restaurant that has these French City Foods Hot Dogs, GEO BROWN ALL BEEF HOTDOGS, or Sugar Maple Geo Brown All Meat Hotdogs should not serve them. You can throw them away or take them back to the seller for a refund.
