Last 2 times I purchased & cooked Bun Size Ballpark Beef Hotdogs it was obvious that the taste has changed. I grew up eating cheap hotdogs, my folks could not afford beef franks. The taste of the last Ballpark beef franks I prepared were slightly reminiscent of my childhood expectations.

Compared to the other top leading hot dog brands, the quality on ball park is very inconsistent. I frequently find bone fragments. I know some other hot dog brands only use certain areas of the cow for the meat, the fact I find bone fragments in this tells me theres no control on the type of meat that goes into this. The hot dog curls and distorts when putting it on an open flame. Corn syrup and sugar should have no business being in a savory hot dog. Theres also too much water in these, kind of gross.

The franks used to be our favorite but the taste has changed. Through the winter we microwave them but packages from the last year have white stuff develop on the outside. They use to swell up when heated. Now they don't. They used to taste good like a ballpark frank. Now they don't. It is obvious they have changed something and not for the better. We have thrown away two packages and won't buy more.

these were the only hot dogs I would buy for over 20 years...Now, I can barely eat 1...I stopped buying them..Ballpark...bad move changing the best hotdog ever made...I would not yell anyone to buy this lower grade hot dog. Very unhappy with the change.

This hot dog brand used to be any favorite. Something has changed, and now they are seriously disgusting. It's like biting into a piece of tasteless rubber. Maybe because they are made from chicken and pork, and not beef? Anyway, I will never buy them again.

These were my go-to frank for YEARS. A couple of months ago, I bought a pack and they were darker and grainy after they cooked. I thought I just got a bad pack. Bought more with the same result...they don't plump. I tried boiling and it was a little better but still not the same. I'm now searching for a new brand.....unless you change them back.

For the last few years I’ve been looking for a good hot dog because I knew something had changed with your hot dogs. Now I’ve found this site and it’s been confirmed. It wasn’t just me. I’ve been eating only one brand since I was little (Ballpark). And I’m now 49. I use to love your hotdogs. And over the last few years I haven’t found nothing like it. In fact I was just googling best hot dogs scouting for something good. I’m desperate. I use to eat hot dogs(Ballpark) very often. Please go back to the original recipe. For the love of Pete. Lol

My baby has a milk allergy and tried ballpark franks classic hotdog for the first time and had an allergic reaction with hives and welts. The ingredient list did not indicate dairy, milk proteins, casein, whey, butter, etc. Would someone confirm that there are no milk related proteins present in the classic hotdogs?

I have a few family members who are disappointed in the new recipe. We always boiled these hotdogs until they split so they would melt in your mouth when you bite into them. They don’t split anymore due to the new formula. The taste and texture has changed too.

What happened?! Greatly disappointed the last 2 holiday grillings! Ball Park Beef franks have been the only hot dogs purchased in our house ever. Something has definitely changed...including the taste, texture, look and size of them. They shriveled and shrank instead of plumping. Maybe you took out an ingredient that’s unhealthy (?) If so, I wish you would have just said so! I think my family’s done eating hot dogs...especially Ball Parks.
