Kraft has unveiled several new hot dog flavors, including a "Bacon Dog," made with hardwood-smoked Oscar Mayer bacon.

The products will be widely available by June.

"We know Americans love bacon, and we know they love hot dogs, so it seemed like the perfect time for us to introduce our first hot dog made with bacon," Jared Baker, director of Oscar Mayer hot dogs, said in a statement Monday.

Along with the bacon dogs, Oscar Mayer is bringing back its Smokies smoked sausages made from pork and beef, and a chicken breast hot dog.

Northfield-based Kraft Foods Group, the maker of Planters, Maxwell House and Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, was the North American grocery division of Kraft Foods until October, when it was spun off as a standalone company. Since then, Kraft has sought to portray itself as a start-up, with an emphasis on reinventing old, but well-known brands, including Cool Whip and Jell-O.
