Unless your Hot Dogs/frankfurters are otherwise labelled, they are likely fully cooked. You should still heat them to at least 145 degrees F prior to eating. There was a foodborne incident in 1998 where people became ill due to listeria contamination of hot dogs and lunch meats during handling after cooking. If you are feeding hot dogs (or lunch meats) to the young, elderly or immunocompromised folks, USDA recommends that the meats be thoroughly heated prior to serving to destroy pathogens.
