Suzie's Tips ... Delicious Food and Keeping it Safe

Sausage Label and Ingredients Let the label be your guide to sausage selection and handling. It will tell you if the product must be kept refrigerated, the nutrient content and the ingredients. All ingredients in the product must be listed by weight in descending order in the ingredient statement. Safe handling instructions are mandatory for all raw or partially cooked meat and poultry products. For sausage products packaged under federal inspection, a Nutrition Facts panel is mandatory. If sausages are made and packaged in a local store, the nutrient information on the package is voluntary or it may be at the point of purchase. The Nutrition Facts information on the label can help consumers compare products and make more informed, healthy food choices. The label must say "Keep Refrigerated" if the sausage is perishable. Product dating is optional but the manufacturer may have affixed a date. Nice to have you here at the food blog. Suzie Looking for business advice?
