Yes and no. Costco hot dogs are 100% vertically integrated and they get the soda basically for free from Pepsi and they still barely break even on them, if they even do anymore. You add in a farm, packer, and a distributor taking their percent and even a lower quality dog is going to be pretty lean on profit at 2USD in 2024
