Quality & Ingredients
Do Kwinter’s Hot Dogs contain any fillers?
No. Kwinter’s Hot Dogs are free of cheap fillers that many manufacturers use to lower costs at the expense of flavour and quality.

-
Potato starch
-
Soy protein concentrate
-
Breadcrumbs or wheat flour
-
Corn starch
-
Modified food starches

Soy flour
Fillers dilute the meat content, affect texture, and compromise flavour. Kwinter’s uses 100% premium kosher beef — nothing else.
Do Kwinter’s Hot Dogs contain sugar?
No. Kwinter’s Hot Dogs contain no added sugar.
Why do other brands use sugar?

To mask off-flavours from fillers or lower-grade meats

To artificially boost browning during cooking
Why it’s not necessary:
With premium beef and natural smoking, the flavour speaks for itself — no sugar needed.
