Sweet Italian Ground Sausage

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Carando Sweet Italian Ground Sausage scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Carando Sweet Italian Ground Sausage lists 11 ingredients, starting with Pork, Water, Potassium Lactate, Salt and Corn Syrup Solids. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Carando Sweet Italian Ground Sausage scores worse than most deli & cured meats we have scored. A higher-scoring option in deli & cured meats is Simply Nature Organic Uncured Beef Hot Dogs at 100/100.
