Oscar Mayer "naturals"

[VioletBlue]

My local Stater Bros store has started stocking Oscar Mayer's new "Naturals" hot dog. Not only is it gluten free, but it has no sodium nitrates in it. I'm terribly allergic to sodium nitrate. I CAN EAT A HOT DOG AGAIN!. Okay, granted not in a bun, but still . . .

The Naturals line contains very few ingredients and no sodium nitrate. Best of all the taste and texture is GREAT! I'm so thrilled. I'm told there are about five products in the line so far, from lunch meat to hot dogs. Unfortunately Staters isn't stocking anything else in the line yet. I'm tempted to go back and buy a stockpile for the freezer.

It's the little things ya know

I don't eat beef, so I don't know how I know this, but Applegate Farms and Wellshire both make nitrate-free, gluten-free hot dogs as well.

The problem with Applegate is that I have to make a special trip to the Organic Store, and they will only stock the turkey breast because they've got such limited frig space. Wellshire isn't sold anywhere within an hours drive of me. And they're both more expensive. This is a mainstream supermarket brand that I can eat without paying twice as much and going way out of my way.

We love these products. We've tried the lunch meats and the bacon. They're awesome. The bacon is quite delicious and the kids are greatful to be able to eat bacon more often, now that it doesn't contain the sodium nitrate. It doesn't fry up the same for some reason. It doesn't cook as evenly - I don't know why. But anyway, it's great. I didn't know they had hot dogs too in their naturals line. Can't wait to try it!
