8 Hot Dogs That Use the Highest Quality Ingredients

Hot dogs get a bad rap because they're traditionally made with processed red meat and are high in sodium and saturated fat — two nutrients linked to poor health. But that doesn't mean you have to shun frankfurters this barbecue season. "Hot dogs aren't perfect foods, but they are fun summertime food, and I encourage my clients to enjoy them on occasion," says Jaime Windrow, RD, LDN, a registered dietitian with Top Nutrition Coaching.

While it's A-OK to enjoy a few vendor hot dogs here and there, there are many healthier hot dog brands that you can add to your cart and make at home more often. And these souped-up sausages are actually not too shabby in the nutrition department: Many of these healthy hot dogs are lower in sodium and free from artificial additives. Plus, many are made with leaner cuts of meat or plant-based ingredients, reducing the overall fat content, Windrow says.

Below, find the best hot dogs with the highest-quality ingredients to throw on the grill this summer. And then, don't miss What Happens to Your Body When You Eat a Hot Dog.
