I you check the nutrition facts in the grocery store chicken dogs are almost always lower fat and lower salt. They are all we buy. I can see being upset if you are keeping kosher, but for the rest of us the chicken dogs will be great for our health.

ETA: non kosher beef hot dogs have the parts of the cow I NEVER want to eat included!

I only eat the hot dogs with no nitrates and I doubt they are at DW.

If you thought you were doing the right thing by selecting chicken or turkey franks or uncured dogs with no added nitrates, think again. Our tests found they did not all deserve a health halo. While three of the four regular poultry dogs we rated had 30 to 80 fewer calories than the average of beef and mixed meat dogs, the other poultry frank had as many calories as beef. And most had plenty of fat and sodium. While the three uncured franks might boast of “no added nitrates,” our testing found that Applegate Farms, Coleman Natural, and Whole Ranch contained nitrates and nitrites at levels comparable to many of the cured models.

All meats contain some level of nitrates, so if you eat meat you are getting them. It is part of the metabolic process in animals.

To be honest I've always been disappointed with the hotdogs there for the past 3 years...

I don't know about ANY hotdogs being great for anyone's health...



Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to my chia seed and wheatgrass juice...


...I'm only kidding.

Please avoid phrases such as "for the rest of us" when you clearly do not speak for the rest of us. We maintain a fairly healthy diet in our house and when I go on vacation it's one of the few times I allow myself
to relax my self imposed dietary restrictions. When I go to WDW and ask for a hot dog I would like to have an actual freaking hotdog not a supposedly healthy facsimile of one.

I agree ! I want a real beef hot dog.....
Its amazing how this cost cutting can transform into "its healthy for you" !
I'm sure it was done to save money ..............not a concern for whats healthy.

 

[bellemeeko1]

While I only eat fish and chicken and not even a lot of that....Casey's was one place I would ALLOW myself a hotdog...once a yr was my treat to myself.....I will try the new ones and see what is what...but Im sure it just wont be the same.......

 

[Planogirl]

To me they pretty much taste the same....

 

[1PrincessMomma1]

Are they still kosher?

They can't be kosher if they're not all beef .

What is the Difference Between Kosher and Non-Kosher Hot Dogs?

The primary difference between Kosher and non-Kosher hot dogs is that Kosher hot dogs do not contain pork. Kosher hot dogs also are made from beef or poultry that has been slaughtered according to Jewish law. Like other hot dogs, Kosher dogs contain high quality cuts of meat and spices. As with all hot dogs, every ingredient in a Kosher hot dog must appear on the package label.

Kosher hot dogs also use quality meat cuts. There can't be anything from the backside, no Eyes, brains, etc either.

 

[rentayenta]

They can't be kosher if they're not all beef .

Exactly.

Do the new hotdogs contain dairy?

I know all the ones in the grocery store that aren't 100% All-Beef contain dairy.

If that's the case, I will be getting the Kosher ones for my lactose intollerant niece. Last year I believe she was able to eat the regular ones (not 100% sure as the chef just told me what he could make her).

I guess I may be the only one happy about this because the beef ones gross me out. They just seem so greasy! I know this strange but I prefer the ones with chicken and turkey.

You're not the only one. The all beef dogs upset my stomache, we always eat turkey dogs at home because they aren't as greasy and I like the flavor better.

Me too. I am not a fan of hotdogs anyhow, but I will not eat pork or beef ones. I prefer turkey, loaded with chili, cheese and onions.

GACK!!!

I guess we won't be visiting Casey's next month ... this makes me sad. The whole wheat buns were bad enough but this ??? I've never eaten a hot dog with chicken meat in it ... chicken talons maybe to go along with the boiled shoeleather, but never chicken meat!
