Hot smoked turkey sausage

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Hillshire Farm Hot smoked turkey 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.

Hillshire Farm Hot smoked turkey sausage lists 14 ingredients, starting with Turkey, Mechanically Separated Turkey, Water, Corn Syrup and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Hillshire Farm Hot smoked turkey sausage scores worse than most deli & cured meats we have scored. A higher-scoring option in deli & cured meats is Dietz & Watson Originals Organic Roasted Turkey Breast at 100/100.
