Sausage products are food items made from ground meat, often mixed with spices, herbs, and other flavorings. They can be made from various types of meat, including pork, beef, chicken, or turkey. Sausages are typically encased in a natural or synthetic casing, which helps hold the ingredients together and gives them their shape. These products come in many forms, such as fresh sausages, which need to be cooked before eating, and cooked sausages, which are ready to eat. Popular varieties include Italian sausage, bratwurst, and hot dogs. Sausage products are enjoyed worldwide and can be grilled, fried, or added to various dishes.
