Frankfurter Nutrition Facts

Frankfurter is a meat food whose cut, visible fat, and raw or cooked state strongly affect its composition. It provides protein, monounsaturated fat, potassium, and vitamin B12. Buy it refrigerated with intact packaging, follow the use-by date, and refrigerate promptly; once opened or cooked, use the FDA cold-storage chart rather than relying on smell alone.

Interesting fact

The Ingredient Behind the Pink

Sodium nitrite is what makes a cured frankfurter pink rather than grey, and it also holds back Clostridium botulinum. USDA caps the ingoing amount at 156 ppm for comminuted products like hot dogs.
