National Hot Dog and Sausage Council

The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC) is an American trade association that promotes the hot dog and sausage industry.[1][2][3]

It was founded in 1994 by the American Meat Institute. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C..

The council promotes July as National Hot Dog Month, and National Hot Dog Day which varies based on when the North American Meat institute hosts its annual hot dog lunch on Capitol Hill. The 2017 National Hot Dog Day is Wednesday, July 19.[4] Similarly, it promotes October as National Sausage Month.[5]

In November 2015, the NHDSC weighed in on the matter of whether or not a hot dog qualified as a type of sandwich by releasing a policy to end the debate.[6]

In 2019 the NHDSC named Callum Russell as their honorary lifetime president. The honour was bestowed upon Russell for ‘tireless service to hot dogs and those who create them.’
