Food Safety Focus

Hello All!

I hope this message finds all of you and your families safe and well.

This week I have an article to share with you from the U.S. Department of Agriculture with everything you need to know about many people’s favorite cookout food – Hot Dogs!

Hot dogs have been a part of the American cookout cuisine for many years. How it came to be so may surprise you and open your eyes to what makes America so great. Our diversity.

The town of Frankfurt-am-Main, (Frankfurt on the Main) in Germany, is traditionally credited as the place where the Frankfurter originated. This claim has been challenged, however by those who say the popular sausage – known as a “dachshund” or “little-dog” sausage – was actually created in the late 1600’s by a man named Johann Georghehner, who was a butcher living in Coburg, Germany.

It wasn’t until the mid-1800s, however that German immigrant butchers in America, who sold various sausages, began calling them “dachshund sausages”, as they were thin and long like the dog breed dachshund. They were sold out of food carts on Coney Island in New York and in New York City a few years later. It didn’t take long for this name to be shortened to what everyone knows today as the “Hot Dog”!

Thanks, for all that you do every single Day! Happy 4th of July everyone!
