Is Applegate Farms ok? > Any others? > (4 1/2 yr old PDD) Hi , The truth is, the only LEGAL hotdog is the what you make yourself when you know all the ingredients are 100% ok. There are recipes on the various SCD websites. I know that sounds harsh, but there is so much we cannot control about commercially made products. Even when the list of ingredients looks good and the customer service center promises there is nothing else added - we don't always know what's going on with the way they make their stuff, or what their suppliers are doing with the spices, for example. So, people on the list ARE using some of the hotdogs on the market that seem ok in terms of ingredients, but we can't say they are actually legal. It is a personal choice to try something in this category and to watch closely for ill effects. It would be like any other time you add something - only one thing at a time, keep a journal, and decide if it's ok. used to love hot dogs, too. I tried the Applegate beef a while back and decide they weren't doing good things for him (bms got mushy, child was hyper, etc.). I've heard the turkey ones are a little less suspect, but again - not officially legal to my knowledge. son - 5yo, ASD, SCD one year+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think I will take my chances and I will attempt to make homemade hot dogs. Have you had any luck with a certain hot dog recipe, or are all pretty much the same? If you have a recipe for hot dogs you love, could you tell me which site you found it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 , Marilyn's hot dog recipe is what everyone uses I think. Hopefully, someone will post it for you. If not, when I get back later this afternoon, I will do a search for it and post it then. Once I finally get caught up from being gone, I will get to work on the recipe updates.
