These premium hotdogs were born in 1869 when Joseph Sahlen founded his meatpacking company , vowing to use only the freshest , highest-quality meats . Today the fifth-generation , family-owned business sells hotdogs in 15 states , including at 1,131 Publix Stores , and its Buffalo HQ operates a state-of-the-art processing facility .
