There is no fixed specification for hot dog meat, with pork and beef being the most popular ingredients. Less expensive hot dogs typically contain some pork, but are primarily chicken, due to the low cost and availability of mechanically separated chicken. Hot dogs have high sodium, fat and nitrate content, which have been linked to health problems in some consumers. In recent years, due to changing dietary preferences in the U.S., manufacturers have turned to turkey, chicken, or vegetarian meat substitutes, and have begun lowering salt content.

In general, if a manufacturer produces two types of hot dog sausages, wieners tend to contain pork and are the blander of the two, while franks tend to be all beef and more-strongly seasoned.[citation needed] This is particularly true of Oscar Mayer products.[citation needed]
