What is it? Its a ground cooked sausage that consists of all beef pork or turkey or combinations of meat, which is cured, smoked, and cooked. The herbs and spices may include coriander, garlic, ground mustard, nutmeg, salt, sugar, and white pepper. They even mix cheese in the meat for a zesty cheese dog... They are fully cooked and are served hot. The sizes of a dog can range from big dinner frankfurters to tiny cocktail size. Every year, Americans consume tons of them primarily between Memorial Day and Labor Day. OK what exactly is that hot dog your eating made of? First off do you really want to know? We would like to point out the U.S. Department of Agriculture strict rules and hot dogs are safe. More on the guide lines and ingredients in the USA.
Most supermarket hot dogs will sometimes use cellulose casings, which are
removed before packaging.
By law, a hot dog can contain up to 3.5 percent of "non-meat
ingredients." Don't be scared. This is usually just some type of
milk or soy product used to add to the nutritional value. Many
hot dogs may be relatively high in fat and sodium, but they are
also a good source of protein, iron, and other necessary
vitamins. Heritage Meat Market uses the traditional natural
casings, made from animal intestines. They are Dubuque brand
premium Hot Dog of highest quality and worth coming over to try!
