Hotdog Recall Widened: J. M. Schneider Inc. of Ontario, Canada, is voluntarily expanding its recall last week of 22,000 pounds of frankfurters to include grocery stores throughout the United States, the Agriculture Department said. Officials said the recalled franks are suspected to being contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause listeriosis, a potentially serious disease. The product, Schneider’s Franks, is sold in one-pound packages. The words “Canada 35” appear inside the inspection seal on the label. All bearing the “Best before” date of “Jul 03” are being recalled.
