Which Is the Preferred Frank Package?

Abstract

A 26: Frankfurters, frequently also referred to as wieners, are a mass produced processed meat item. The product differs widely in its composition. In all cases, it has a very high percentage of water content, meat, a relatively high fat content, and in some instances also cereal, spices, preservatives, and a variety of other additives. The meat may consist of one or a mixture of the following: beef, pork, and chicken. The ingredients are finely ground, masticated, and eventually emulsified. This emulsion is fed into casings. The frankfurters are thus cured and practically cooked while moving through a smokehouse. The modern smokehouse accommodates huge volume and delivers finished franks at such rapid rates as to require automatic handling of same at the pack off end.
