Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Duke's Original Recipe Smoked Shorty Sausages scores 66/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Duke's Original Recipe Smoked Shorty Sausages lists 10 ingredients, starting with Pork, Chopped Parsley, Cane Sugar, Spices and Cultured Celery Powder. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 66/100 Duke's Original Recipe Smoked Shorty Sausages lands mid-scale — below the typical score in jerky & meat snacks, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in jerky & meat snacks is Brooklyn Biltong Naked Classic Tender Steak Slices at 95/100.
