About Frankfurter
A frankfurter is a finely comminuted sausage, typically made from meat such as pork, beef, or a mixture, seasoned and stuffed into a casing. Recipes and casing choices vary, so the name does not specify a single meat formulation.
It is usually sold cooked or ready to heat, with a smooth, firm texture and a mild, savory, often lightly smoky flavour. It may be sold whole, chilled, or frozen; nutrition comparisons depend on meat blend, added ingredients, casing, and whether the sausage is assessed as sold or prepared.
