Healthiest and Unhealthiest Store-Bought Hotdogs

We’ve done the work for you and tracked down the healthiest and unhealthiest hot dogs at the supermarket.

Not all hot dogs are created equal, and some pack far more fat, calories, sodium and questionable ingredients into the casing than others.

If you’re looking for a better-for-you hot dog, there are a few things to keep in mind.
One, use your eyes: The bigger a hot dog is, the more calories and fat it will have. The words jumbo, stadium and bun-length connote a larger-than-normal dog, which can sometimes be nearly double the size of a standard dog.
You may also look for sodium content; sometimes the lower-calorie turkey and chicken dogs are pumped full of salt, which could be risky for your heart health when eaten in excess.

Here’s a quick guide to hot dogs and their ingredients — but in the meantime, this guide ranks which popular brands of supermarket hot dogs are the healthiest and unhealthiest.
