We appreciate our loyal customers—all across the country—for many reasons. One reason is their passion for Sahlen’s Hot Dogs and Deli Meat. And when you’re this passionate about something, you need to know more about it. As a result, we receive quite a few questions from fans and customers daily. Here are some of the ones that get asked the most and our answers to each one of them. Enjoy!

Sahlen’s Hot Dogs are longer than average bun length. They are a full meal. Pile on the ingredients and you’ll still get meat in every bite. Or, you can enjoy it simply with just a trail of mustard to truly taste the Sahlen’s Smokehouse difference.

We have three different types of hot dogs casings. We use a Natural Sheep Casing on a variety of our Pork & Beef Hot Dogs. We use a Tender Casing (or Collagen Casing) for our Pork & Beef and All Beef Hot Dogs. And we also have Skinless varieties available in both our All Beef and Pork & Beef Hot Dogs.

Sahlen uses fresh, never frozen ingredients in all of our products. Our hot dogs do not contain any fillers or binders, nor do we use any mechanically separated parts. Plus, we use whole muscle pieces in our deli meats.

We can confidently say this is the only Buffalo Chicken Breast truly made in Buffalo, NY!
