The U.S. Agriculture Department says a Buffalo, N.Y.,
firm is recalling about 50,000 pounds of frankfurters
because of possible undercooking.
The agency said it has not received any reports of
illnesses caused by the meat, which was recalled
after the company, Zemco Industry Inc., received
a consumer complaint.
The hot dogs were sold in one- to five-pound
packages on Oct. 5 and 6 and distributed to stores
in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Vermont.
Each package bears the code EST. 5222.
