'''Frankfurters''' are cooked and/or smoked sausages prepared according to the Federal standards of identity. Federal standards of identity describe the requirements for processors to follow in formulating and marketing [[meat]], [[poultry]], and egg [[product]]s produced in the United States for sale in this country and in foreign commerce. The standard also requires that they be comminuted (reduced to minute particles), semisolid [[product]]s made from one or more kinds of raw skeletal muscle from livestock (like [[beef]] or pork)and may contain [[poultry]] [[meat]]. Smoking and [[curing]] ingredients contribute to [[flavor]], color, and preservation of the [[product]]. They are link-shaped and come in all sizes -- short, long, thin, and chubby.
