Vienna Beef Hot Dogs Recalled, May Contain Metal

Before you fire up that grill this holiday weekend, you better check your fridge/freezer to make sure you don't have some versions of Vienna Beef hot dogs as there's been a recall due to possible metal contamination.

According to Fox News, Vienna Beef Ltd., based out of Chicago, has issued the recall for approximately 2,030 pounds of “skinless beef frankfurters” bearing specific product packaging codes, and which were shipped to Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, according to a USDA product recall notice issued Saturday.

While Michiganders should be in the clear, it doesn't hurt to double check your hot dog purchase. If you're travelling this weekend to Illinois, Indiana or Wisconsin, I'd think twice before biting into a hot dog.
