Legal Hot Dogs Don't Contain Any Chitlings
The agriculture department announces new labeling rules for hot dogs and cooked sausages effective July and September. Chitlings, from hog or calf intestines, are banned from being listed as approved byproducts in frankfurters. Labels will distinguish frankfurters by category and byproducts while allowing common nicknames on labels, with specific terms for beef or blended meats. The notice also notes price trends in farm food spending from 1952 through 1972, showing growth in the typical household food basket.
