Johnsonville Italian Sausage



I found a recipe I wanted to try and I picked up the ingredients, including Italian-style pork sausage. The recipe called for links, but the fresh links at Ralph's had ingredient statements including corn syrup solids and high-fructose corn syrup. Uh, yuck.

So I picked up this Johnsonville pack of ground, fresh Italian-style pork sausage because of the ingredient statement:


In case you are blinded by the 23% daily value of saturated fat per serving in the nutritional facts, the ingredients statement is this:

Pork, water and 2% or less than: salt, natural sugar, spices, paprika, and natural flavors.


The choice at that point was hot or mild. Not knowing how hot was hot or how mild was mild, I slam-dunked mild into the cart.

Cost: $3.99 per 16 oz. package at your local Ralph's, aka Kroger back east.

Look, Johnsonville updated the back label on their mild Italian sausage -- it's gluten free (red arrow).
