Artificial Ingredient-Free Hot Dogs

The McCormick Grill Mates Beef Franks Aren't Made with Fillers

Hot dogs are associated with having a somewhat unnatural recipe, which is something that isn't the case with the new McCormick Grill Mates Beef Franks. The seasoned 100% beef franks are made without the use of byproducts, fillers or artificial colors or flavors, which makes them a better choice over the other options out there with a long list of suspect ingredients.

The McCormick Grill Mates Beef Franks come in three flavor options including Smoky Applewood, Montreal Steak and Classic, which offers something for everyone to enjoy without having to worry about unwanted ingredients. The hot dogs have been released just in time for barbecue season and are available at grocery stores nationwide as of now.
