What You Should Know

Hebrew National 100% Kosher Beef Franks are typically found in the refrigerated packaged meats aisle, tucked near other hot dogs, sausages, bacon and deli-style prepared meats — often displayed in a clear plastic 6-count pack so shoppers can see the dark-pink, uniform links. Shoppers reach for these franks when planning backyard barbecues, game-day spreads, quick weeknight dinners, or picnic and road-trip coolers. The brand positions itself as a heritage, quality-focused choice: kosher certification, “100% kosher beef,” and an old-fashioned story (since 1905) give it a trusted, somewhat premium American-heritage image aimed at families, observant consumers, and shoppers who want a recognizable national brand. Label claims lean on health halos and clean-sounding language — “gluten free,” “no artificial flavors, artificial colors, fillers or by-products,” and “keto friendly” — while also calling out protein and low carbs, which appeal to low-carb and protein-seeking shoppers; there is no organic certification. In plain terms, these franks are a processed meat product made from beef plus added water, salt, spices and several flavor and preservation additives (curing salts, flavoring, hydrolyzed soy protein). Sensory cues: they are described as thick, juicy, and snappy when grilled, with a salty, spiced beef flavor and smooth, emulsified texture. Packaging is a small refrigerated clamshell or vacuum pack; ritual uses include grilling at cookouts, boiling in water for kids’ lunches, or quickly microwaving for convenience with buns and condiments. Overall, they act as a quick, familiar centerpiece for casual American meals and social occasions.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This product is an ultra-processed food (NOVA 4) because it is an industrially formulated meat product containing additives like hydrolyzed soy protein, sodium nitrite, sodium erythorbate, flavorings and other preservatives and emulsifiers rather than just minimally processed meat and simple ingredients.
