I’ll admit I don’t really go for the meatless hot dogs too much. The main reason is vegan hot dogs just aren’t very tasty. I’ve tried all of the major vegetarian vegan hot dog brands and found you have to dress them up a lot to make them edible. But I never imagined it was much much worse than just their taste!
Clear food just completed a study of hot dogs and sausages. They included vegan and vegetarian brands in their study. Some of the results are disturbing and shocking. Human DNA in hot dogs? I don’t know ANYONE who wants to eat another humans flesh. And the most disturbing of all is that about 10% of meatless hot dogs, like vegan and vegetarian brands, had meat in them. Mainly chicken.
There is some good news though. They found some high quality brands putting out top notch products too. So there is a silver lining. You can see the full details about the report and their brand findings on the next page.
The good news for vegans is that some brands scored really high. They actually gave their top marks to Trader Joe brands. The meatless brand that got their highest marks was Trader Joe’s Soy Chorizo ($1.99) they found that the nutritional information was more accurate than most of the vegetarian products tested. They also found the Trader Joe’s Meatless Corn Dogs, ($2.99) to be right on target.
As far as their list of specialty hot dog brands, Gardein was the big winner scoring a 95 (highest score of any brand) on their test. I’ll be honest here, I’ve never seen Gardein hot dogs before so I’m interested to know where you can get them and what they taste like. If you know please leave a comment!
