Avoid sausage. It is a processed, high-fat, high-sodium product that often contains onion or garlic. If an accidental taste occurs, keep it tiny and monitor for GI upset.
Sausage is processed ground meat formed into links, patties, or crumbles and seasoned with salt, spices, and curing ingredients. Sold fresh, smoked, cooked, and cured in many varieties.
Common recipes include garlic, onion powder, pepper blends, sugar, and smoke flavor. Breakfast sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, and cured sticks all remain highly processed.
Often served with buns, sauces, and greasy drippings. Cured sausage sticks are especially dense in sodium.
