Name a more iconic duo. We'll wait. ⚾🌭 Hot dogs were first served at baseball parks in 1893 — the same year they were a sensation at the Chicago World's Fair. Today, MLB fans eat nearly 20 million hot dogs every season. Some traditions just stick. What's your ballpark go-to? 👇 #Baseball #HotDogSeason #NationalHotDogMonth #HotDog250

Happy 250th, America. 🎂🌭 Today we celebrate with the food that's been at every birthday — from the very first backyard cookout to this one. 90% of Americans eat hot dogs. That's not a snack. That's a national tradition. Tag someone you're grilling with today. ⬇️ #July4th #America250 #NationalHotDogMonth #250YearsOneFrank #HotDog250

Tomorrow, Americans will eat more than 150 million hot dogs. 🌭 That's enough to stretch from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles... more than 5 times. Same tradition. 250th birthday. Don't miss the grill. #July4th #America250 #NationalHotDogMonth #250YearsOneFrank

July is National Hot Dog Month — and this year, it's bigger than ever. America turns 250 years old this month, and the hot dog has been a patriotic symbol every step of the way, bringing people together from all walks of life. From Coney Island push carts to your backyard grill — some things just exude USA. #NationalHotDogMonth #HotDog250 #250YearsOneFrank #America250

Today, Michael Schumpp, Senior Director of International Affairs at the Meat Institute, testified before the House Agriculture Committee to highlight the critical benefits that the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has had for the U.S. agriculture sector and rural economies. The Meat Institute supports renewing USMCA for another 16-year term as provided under the agreement, while addressing any issues through existing consultative mechanisms rather than renegotiation. The Meat Institute also supports the preservation of common meat product names. His full testimony can be found here: meatinstitute.org/press/meat-ins…
