Deceiving packaging
Although some ingredients are better and they taste great. Cultured Celery powder is a man made preservative and has its own awful concerns. Please research.

Great flavor
Great flavor, no thick outer skin, a little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for. Much healthier than regular hot dogs.

Great natural hot dog!
I have a lot of weird allergies and also prefer high quality, natural ingredients. These are one of my only safe hotdogs. They are delicious! I think these have better texture and flavor than the organic version.

I believe these are the best hotdogs
I prefer to warm in a frying pan. They crisp up nicely. I eat these dogs plain on a bun. I love the taste of the hotdog.

Not for me
I love hotdogs and prefer to eat healthier ones when possible but these taste...strong, gamey, something is just too much for a hotdog taste.

So good
Really great tasting and just a tad bit salty, I’ll definitely keep buying tho and recommending to family and friends. They taste “gamey” and truly are a staple to our summer cook outs

Too salty
The flavor was really good, but my goodness the saltiness! Those of us who ate these felt awful afterwards. We won't be purchasing them again.

Its a no for me.
I’ve never eaten a hotdog that I didn’t like until I ate this one. Eeewww. Seemed better cooked in the microwave, but cooked on the BBQ and it tasted strange? Almost like you could taste the “gamey” flavor.

My new favorite hot dog!
Not a huge fans of hot dogs (for obvious reasons) but if we’re having a BBQ and it’s on the menu, I go with these or the Organic ones from the same brand!
