Hot dog is a type of sausage that is usually boiled or grilled and served in a bun. Sausages are made from ground meat, often beef, pork, veal, mixed with spices, salt, and other ingredients such as breadcrumbs, onion, and cereal grains like rice or cornmeal. They are usually smoked or cured before being cooked. Hot dogs and sausages are an important part of many cuisines and are popular around the world.

Organic hot dogs do not contain synthetic nitrate preservatives, antibiotics, and growth hormones. Also, the products are made from animals raised on vegetarian, organic feed and cows having access to pasture for at least 120 days a year during the grazing season. They cause less environmental impact on soil and water. Due to all these advantages, the demand for organic hot dogs will increase in the coming years. Further, a growing elderly population seeks healthier sausage options, including organic hot dogs and sausages, as pork or beef sausages contain trans-fat, which triggers coronary heart disease. In addition, to avoid the risk of being obese or overweight, many consumers are demanding organic hot dogs and sausages that are low in sugar or fat. Therefore, increasing awareness regarding the health benefits of natural and organic food products can propel the demand for natural and organic meat-based hot dogs and sausages.

Organic hot dogs and sausages are perceived to be a source of plant protein with lower ecological footprints than pork and beef. Thus, a high number of young consumers prefer sausage brands that are certified organic or have healthier animal husbandry practices.

In November 2021, Applegate Farms, LLC announced the launch of “the DO GOOD DOG hot dog,” made with beef raised on verified regenerative US grasslands. The launch was aimed to cater to the growing demand for natural and organic hot dogs and sausages.
