I called them and they patched me through to someone who explained very directly what products they had that contained soy (for example, their pre-sliced American cheese but not their deli cheese!). They were really helpful and insisted I write down what they were saying! Anyway, they got me as a loyal customer by being so willing to say what was what! Best, Kate Hi,

I wish I had the answer. Several months ago we found some natural hot dogs with none of the usual "stuff" that hot dogs usually have, and they were soy-free, but the one store that sold them doesn't sell them any more, and they don't seem to remember that they even had them. And of course we can't remember the brand! Good luck with your search... those were the only soy-free ones I had ever seen, but maybe some company will realize there is a huge market out there for soy-free products if someone would only seize the opportunity. If you find a manufacturer, I would really like to know about it. Kate, great question… I wish I had the answer.

I might be missing something, but where do you find soy-free hotdogs? I was surprised that Hebrew National has soy! Any recommendations of brands to try (although, I'll read the labels and double-check, too). THANKS! : ) Hi! I might be missing something, but where do you find soy-free hotdogs?

I let them thaw on the counter in the bag I froze them in... then I steam them in a covered colander over a pan with a small quantity of boiling water. If you want to put the buns on the grill or toast them, I would just let them thaw first and then do whatever you would do with purchased buns. We like the buns lightly steamed, just enough to warm them up but not enough to make them soggy. Toasted or grilled is good too, though. I would definitely bake the buns before freezing them.
