WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING HOT DOGS
Always read the label, and as a general rule, buy those with as few ingredients as possible. According to the Department of Agriculture, a hot dog can be made of any kind of meat or poultry. Mechanically separated meats and fillers like non-fat milk powder are also allowed. But don’t be put off by the end of the list, where it might say “Less than 2 percent of …” followed by nebulous ingredients like “seasonings.” This is how the garlic, spices and other flavors are listed. Trace amounts of sweeteners and sometimes colorants (like cherry or beet powder) are also to be expected.
