kosher hot dogs

People ask if hot dogs are kosher because they think kosher hot dogs are only made from desirable parts of the animal.

That is not true. Kosher beef is kosher because of the manner in which the cow was killed.

A kosher hot dog might be made up of the cow's lips and butt hole just the same as any other hot dog. The only difference is that the cow was blessed by a rabbi before it died and it died by having it's throat cut.

I think people think that since kosher dogs are generally all-beef and cost more, that they're not made with the same slaughterhouse floor scrapings that regular hotdogs are.

.....well, damn. I'm going to have to send my Kosher dogs to a lab, then.

Well, the kosher is always good for someone who has an allergy to chicken. ...>_>

Just be careful that the SC doesn't get pig-headed.

The only way to be sure that a hot dog doesn't have by-products is to check. In the US, at least, they're legally obligated to list byproducts in the ingredients -- check for "meat by-products" or "variety meats". Two sources:
