Corn dogs are truly phenomenal—they’re hard to beat. Much like how the best beer is often a ‘free one,’ it’s tough to find a bad corn dog. So, would we ever turn one down? Probably not. Honestly, why would we?

So, with that in mind, how do we determine what the worst frozen corn dogs in America are? And what criteria are we using to judge them?

Mashed taste-tested 12 frozen corn dogs to determine the best and worst options, using factors like batter-to-meat ratio, meat quality, and breading flavor. They also evaluated how well the breading held up after reheating and the overall size of the corn dogs. Their report highlights which frozen corn dogs meet their standards for flavor and quality and which fall short.

Alright, now that we’ve got that cleared up, which frozen corn dog brand available in Maine is being called the worst in America?

According to Mashed and their report on the ‘6 Best and 6 Worst Frozen Corn Dogs to Buy,’ the worst frozen corn dog brand you can buy is Great Value—both the Great Value Corn Dogs and Great Value Mini Corn Dogs. Mashed had this to say about their selection:

At $3.98 for a six-pack, these dogs feature a chicken frank where the meat is about as low-quality as you can get. Frankly, this stuff is as tough as leather. While the corn dog is pretty balanced when it comes to the ratio of batter to meat, we must note that the batter doesn't have an outstanding taste. But that's the least of this brand of corn dog's problems.

So, there you have it—the worst frozen corn dog brand in America is, once again, Great Value, according to Mashed.
