Frankfurter

A frankfurter is a processed meat sausage. The figures here describe continental-style frankfurters sampled across several brands. They mainly provide fat and protein, with little carbohydrate or fibre. Per 100g, they contain 25g of fat, including 9.2g of saturated fat, alongside 14g of protein and 1.8g of salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Frankfurters also provide vitamin B12, which helps maintain normal nerve function and supports red blood cell formation. Their salt and saturated fat content are worth noting for people monitoring these in their diet. Fat also contributes to their energy content. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 7 brands of continental style frankfurters. 75-90% meat). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
