My dr does not recommend to eat them. It keeps me safe in mind to know im staying away from anything like that. Even thinks they say is only good in small dosage i dont take. Obviously if its only in small dosage then its shouldnt be could at all. Coffee, soda, tuna, hotdogs even though im dieing to have a nice glass of wine lol but im trying hard to give the best start to my baby. Of course it totally is up to you and im pretty sure there hasnt been anything reported with a birth defect related to hotdogs so they are ptlrobably just fine. I mean in the old days they didnt have a guide on what not to eat while pregnant. I think it jyst has to do with things that are inside too. Ask your dr on ur next appt. Thats what i did and he gave a direct opinion of his which i follow.

If you cook them steaming hot you cook out any bacteria that maybe present

I ate them with my 10 and 12 yr old and love them now. My 2 boys are just fine and couldn't be any healthier.. But all opinions are different :)
