Fortunately for those with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, plenty of hot dogs meet the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's definition of gluten-free, meaning they contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. Although you might not be able to find all of these brands at your local supermarket, you should be able to find at least one or two.

The company states: "We strive very hard to avoid any cross-contamination in our plants of trace gluten." A Word From Verywell Multiple companies make gluten-free hot dogs, and two have taken the extra step to get their products certified gluten-free (which means those hot dogs meet more stringent standards and may contain less gluten cross-contamination than non-certified products). If you're sensitive to trace gluten, stick with Dietz & Watson's gluten-free hot dogs or Sabrett's gluten-free hot dogs, both of which are certified. Otherwise, you should be fine with any gluten-free hot dog makers on this list. Pick up some gluten-free hot dog buns and enjoy. 3 Sources Verywell Fit uses only high-quality sources, including peer-reviewed studies, to support the facts within our articles.
