CORRECTION

HOT DOGS BEEF FRANKFURTERS

An item in the June 2022 Selling It column showed a photo of a retail grocery display of Stahl-Meyer Hot Dogs (above, left) behind a misplaced sign advertising a different product, Stahl-Meyer Beef Frankfurters (above, right). Stahl-Meyer Beef Frankfurters are made with 100% beef, and Consumer Reports did not intend to suggest otherwise. Consumer Reports apologizes to Stahl-Meyer and its customers for any confusion.
