According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, Americans consume over 20 billion hot dogs annually, highlighting their popularity. A lean hot dog is a lower-fat, reduced-calorie alternative designed for health-conscious consumers who still want to enjoy this classic treat. While a regular hot dog relies on a higher fat content for flavor and juiciness, a lean hot dog uses leaner cuts of meat, like beef, chicken, or turkey, and sometimes plant-based proteins, to achieve a similar taste profile.
