Are Hot Dogs Gluten Free?
Hot dogs are an American staple and a favorite food for many people. They are usually made from beef, pork, or turkey meat seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, celery seed, chili powder, mustard, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and other ingredients. The most common type of hot dog is the frankfurter which has been around since the early 1900s. These sausages were made by hand and have evolved into the modern-day processed link we know.
If you’re wondering if a gluten-free certification organization approves hot dogs, they are not! However, there are some brands out there that make their gluten-free hot dogs. You can find these at your local grocery store or online. To learn more about how to cook gluten-free hot dogs, check out our article on How To Cook Gluten-Free Hot Dogs.
