Original Sausage Links

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Jimmy Dean Original Sausage Links scores 40/100 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.

Jimmy Dean Original Sausage Links lists 11 ingredients, starting with Pork, Water, Potassium Lactate, Salt and Spices. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 40/100 Jimmy Dean Original Sausage Links scores worse than most meat & seafood we have scored. A higher-scoring option in meat & seafood is Simply Nature Organic Uncured Beef Hot Dogs at 100/100.
