The truth behind what's inside hot dogs

Hamburg - Whether you call it a frankfurter, hot dog or wiener it's a cooked sausage and a year-round favorite. They can be made from beef, pork, turkey, chicken, or a combination- the label must state which. But does it always? What exactly is the ingredient MSM?
Planning on tossing some hot dogs on the grill for the holiday weekend cookout? Are you wondering whats in that frankfurter you're going to feed to the kids? Curious about how sausages are made? Take a look inside a wiener manufacturing plant and the slaughterhouses those 'meat trimmings' arrive from that are used to make those delicious grilled favorites you've been eating since you were a child. So what is this all-American fare made from?

According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council:
"All hot dogs are cured and cooked sausages that consist of mainly pork, beef, chicken and turkey or a combination of meat and poultry. Meats used in hot dogs come from the muscle of the animal and looks much like what you buy in the grocer's case. Other ingredients include water, curing agents and spices, such as garlic, salt, sugar, ground mustard, nutmeg, coriander and white pepper."
However, there are a couple of things they don't talk much about- Like "Variety meats," which include things like liver, kidneys and hearts, may be used in processed meats like hot dogs, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires that they be disclosed on the ingredient label as "with variety meats" or "with meat by-products."

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY Y'ALL
