About Ball Park
Ball Park is a hot dog and meat snack brand owned by Tyson Foods, known as 'America's #1 hot dog brand' by unit volume.

Common concerns with Ball Park products
Ball Park franks contain sodium nitrite as a standard preservative and curing agent, along with corn syrup, sodium phosphate, and in some varieties mechanically separated turkey. The standard Ball Park Frank is a classic processed meat product with the full suite of sodium nitrite concerns. Ball Park Uncured options use celery powder as a naturally occurring nitrite source — though health experts note the nitrite risk is similar regardless of source.
