I got hooked on them many years ago when they were still kosher.
A grocery chain in Richmond, VA carried a lot of kosher foods. They were having a store cook out and I got invited.
I had to know the brand of hot dog and bought two packs before I left the store.
Since ConAgra bought the company they did away with the Rabbinical inspection, from what I understand, but kept everything else the same.
Even though they are made in the same plant as before, using the same meats and processes, there is no Rabbi on premises so they can’t carry the Rabbinical Stamp of Approval.
At least that’s what ConAgra told me.
Blessed or no, they are still the ‘go to’ Having the name unchanged, leads one to believe they were still Kosher. Rather deceiving ya’ might say unless consumers were up to date on the market situation. Kosher or not, they are some of the best (IMHO)
