WHAT'S REALLY IN A HOT DOG?
ALL MANUFACTURERS OF HOT DOGS MUST LIST THEIR INGREDIENTS ON THE LABEL.
BEEF, PORK, CHICKEN, TURKEY, ETC. CAN ONLY BE USED IF THE MEAT COMES FROM THE MUSCLE TISSUE OF AN ANIMAL.
HOWEVER, IF YOU SEE THE WORDS "MEAT BY-PRODUCTS" OR "VARIETY MEATS", THE HOT DOG MAY CONTAIN SNOUTS, STOMACHS, HEARTS, LIPS, SPLEENS, ETC.
FRANKFURTERS ONCE CONTAINED ONLY BEEF AND PORK, BUT CAN NOW LEGALLY CONTAIN SHEEP, GOAT, AND UP TO 15% CHICKEN.
HOT DOGS ARE MADE PRIMARILY BY GRINDING THE MEAT WITH WATER, SEASONING, SWEETNERS, PRESERVATIVES, SALT, AND BINDERS.
