Vienna "All Beef" Hot Dogs Are Made With Sheep, Pigs
Sorry Chicagoans, your beloved Vienna "100% All Beef" hot dogs are actually encased in sheep and pigs, according to a recently settled class action suit. Under the settlement, all class members—anyone in the U.S. who bought a Vienna hot dog at a hot dog stand in the past five years—are entitled to $3 per consumed hog dog.
