What goes inside of hotdogs

Hotdogs, one of the most iconic foods for a BBQ, they are also iconic for the rumors of what goes in them.

Hot dogs usually are made out of skeletal meat, which are trimmings of meats that make up other meaty foods, such as steak and ground meat. The trimmings are ground up, salt, water, and nitrates are added for flavor, texture, and protection from bacteria. Contrary to popular belief, hot dogs aren't really made of the leftovers from animal parts, the trimmings are used for hot dogs and not for steaks and roasts because they aren't a certain tenderness, size, or shape. Hot dogs are completely safe too eat too, they are cooked to a safe temperature and the workers ear sterile cloths and gear like in any other meat facility. While they aren't a very healthy food, they are an inexpensive source of protein.
