More than 1.5 million pounds of hot dogs, sausages, bacon and other ready-to-eat deli and poultry products sold nationwide are being recalled because they may not have been kept at the proper temperatures and could spoil.
The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Saturday that Massachusetts-based Kayem Foods is recalling the product. A total of 1,584,361 pounds of product are being recalled, according to the release.
Ready-to-eat products include a variety of packaged hot dogs, bacon, smoked brisket, flavored chicken sausage and meatballs, and sliced deli items under brands including Kayem, Al Fresco, McKenzie, Triple M, Deutschmacher and Jordan’s.
FSIS said they were produced between March 31 and October 7, 2026, and shipped to retail and foodservice establishments across the country.

The products are being recalled due to “potential temperature abuse,” according to health officials. FSIS said the problem was initially discovered when a retail customer complained that product delivered on Oct. 1 was hot. An investigation determined that various meat products stored in warehouse coolers “exhibited temperature excursions.”
Health officials are concerned these products could end up in consumers’ refrigerators and are urging people not to eat them or return them to the place of purchase.
FSIS said there have been no confirmed reports of illness to date.
