Are there earthworms in hot dogs?

Answer 1

I like to think so.
FALSE, the ingredient that made people think was earthworms was erythrobate. This is only an urban legand. erythrobate is sodium erythrobate, this is a highly concentrated version of vitamin C (Giveing lunchmets and hotdogs its pink color) This information was found on Yahoo answers by oltmprch, and his/her source is from the USDA website. here is the USDA definition also included in that users answer. SODIUM ERYTHORBATE - is the sodium salt of erythorbic acid, a highly refined food-grade chemical closely related to vitamin C, synthesized from sugar, and used as a color fixative in preparing cured meats here is the answer i found (incase you want to see it for yourself)- http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060921211018AAnDo1O and here is the USDAs website (in case you want further explanation)- http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usdahome
I'm no expert on earthworms or Hot Dogs but I'm pretty sure that there are no earthworms in hot dogs but I am not positive,
