[Here&#8217;s The Full Gist]"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>We all love hot dogs, but we\u2019ve also heard lots of stories about what goes into them. So, I guess you are probably curious to know if a hot dog is made of pork or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, <strong>the answer is yes<\/strong>. Although hot dogs can also be made from beef, veal, and often less expensive hot dogs are also made with chicken. But primarily, the traditional ingredient for a hot dog is beef and pork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, I will be talking about hot dogs and their nutritional value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are hot dogs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot dogs are long pressurized meat or sausage served on a slit of a partially sliced bun. They are made from meat trimmings ground into a fine mixture and mixed with seasonings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nutritional information on hot dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following nutrients are present in hotdogs, according to the USDA;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Calories: 314<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sodium: 810mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sugar: 4g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fat: 18.6g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protein: 11g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carbohydrate: 24.3g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fiber: 0.8g<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>They also contain iron, calcium, cobalamin, and magnesium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did&nbsp;you know?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Hot dog consumption stands at over 20 million yearly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/majorleagueeating.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Major League Eating<\/a>, a man from Indiana ate 76 hot dogs in under 10 minutes in a hot dog eating competition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hot dogs can also be the organ meat of pigs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hot dogs were initially called dachshund sausages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are hot dogs healthy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, they are not. Studies show that excess intake of hot dogs could have several health risks. They include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Risk of colorectal cancer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot dogs are processed meat. And overconsumption of processed meat leads to the onset of colorectal cancer. This is according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">World Health Organization (WHO)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Excess sodium and fat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot dogs are high in sodium. Just one hot dog contains over a quarter of your daily recommended intake. Also, it contains fat that could disrupt the body\u2019s energy production rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Increased risk of diabetes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot dogs contain nitrates and nitrites, two nitrosamine-forming compounds that can damage pancreatic cells. These cells are responsible for making insulin and can further increase the risk of diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do hot dogs go bad overnight?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, they do. Hot dogs grow bacteria when left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. It is best to store them in the refrigerator or freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you eat a hot dog without cooking it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A hot dog is a pre-cooked meat product but it can be eaten raw. However, there is no harm in cooking them further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are hot dogs made of animals&#8217; hearts?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, they are not. The US Department of Agriculture inspects to ensure that all hot dogs produced are not made with heart or other animal bi-products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: Is hotdog pork?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, hot dogs can be pork, beef, chicken, or a combination of any beef and pork. However, the labels always indicate the type of meat used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, if you&#8217;re buying from roadside sellers or deli cases at the supermarket, you can enquire to be sure of the kind of meat you&#8217;re purchasing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, ensure you buy fresh hotdogs and<a href=\"https:\/\/millenora.com\/do-hot-dogs-go-bad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> store them properly <\/a>to keep them from going bad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for reading this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to become a kitchen expert?
