    Seems the government would control any hot dog factories anyway

    Or this is food smuggled in, which I imagine would already be illegal.

      Maybe, but it talks about popular street food in another part of the article so it seems not all food is hand delivered from the government. And a hot dog is “just” a sausage in a bun, I’d think bread and sausages would be reasonably common where food is a problem but maybe I’m wrong.

          Well I noticed the article has a picture of a completely different type of hot dog than what I assume they actually banned*. Does that count as a hotdog sausage?

          * In New Zealand a “Hot dog” is more similar to what would be called a “Corn dog” in the US. A hot dog sausage in bread would be referred to as an “American hot dog”.

            Yes the sausage in a corn dog has the hotdog consistency and extra level of being processed shite.
