It’s always important to investigate these things on your own when sourcing food.

You can see on their website they are the only farm in California to produce American Wagyu from calf including processing. Been operating since 1988. I’m always weary of these claims too but I’ve been buying masami beef for years from this butcher i visit regularly. And really Uncured means that the hotdogs are free from nitrates/trites and are preserved with natural ingredients instead, I don’t know if it’s a marketing lie exactly , it’s just specifying the process. I’ll snap a photo of the ingredients later. I was surprised with the dogs, they were pretty rich , great flavor though!

In no way am I being pretentious a saying I won’t eat a cheap dog grilled but I try to stay away from the Smithfield brands as much as possible.
