Chicago, IL (JusticeNewsFlash.com)–As reported by the Chicago Tribune on Friday, the Downers Grove food product company, Sara Lee Corporation www.saralee.com, voluntarily recalled 1,728 pounds of its Ball Park brand hot dogs.

Ball Park Cheese Franks were mislabeled as Ball Park Beef Franks placing people with allergies to milk, poultry and pork at risk of serious injury. Consumers with known food allergies specifically refrain from ingesting the product they are allergic to because of the severe medical injury and possible death allergic reactions may cause.
