About CHICKEN HOT DOGS
Heritage Farm Chicken Hot Dogs are a processed poultry product sold under The Kroger Co.'s Heritage Farm sub-brand, which is used for value-positioned meat and poultry items across the Kroger retail network. The product is formulated with mechanically separated chicken as the primary protein source — a process-recovered poultry paste that USDA regulations require to be explicitly declared on labeling. Supporting ingredients include water, corn syrup, modified food starch, and sodium nitrite, a curing agent standard in processed meat products that extends shelf life and contributes the characteristic pink color associated with hot dogs.
Per 100 grams, Heritage Farm Chicken Hot Dogs provide approximately 140 to 160 calories, with fat at 9 to 12 grams from the mechanically separated chicken composition, protein at 8 to 10 grams, and carbohydrates at 4 to 6 grams from corn syrup and modified starch. Sodium is elevated due to the curing and seasoning process. The product contains no wheat allergens (suitable for gluten-free diets when prepared without buns) but corn syrup is present as a sweetener.
As a lower-cost alternative to beef or pork hot dogs, Heritage Farm Chicken Hot Dogs are a budget-friendly protein option within the Kroger private label meat department, available at Kroger-banner stores. The sodium nitrite curing agent is functionally identical across conventional processed hot dogs regardless of brand tier.
