Sausage is a rather controversial product, but it occupies an honorable place among the most popular products, as it is added to salads, omelets, and hot sandwiches. But despite this, it is increasingly possible to buy dangerous counterfeit products instead of a good product.

Bohdana Leonova, an expert on product quality and safety, told how to choose high-quality smoked sausage in stores on the air of the "Useful Program" (to watch the video, scroll to the end).

What to look for in the first place:

1. Date

This is the first thing you need to pay attention to, so you will know for sure whether the product is fresh or not.

2. Ingredients

Be sure to always check the composition

A good, natural sausage should contain nothing but meat, spices, and starch. If the composition contains soy, you should immediately reject this product.

3. Grade

This is always indicated on the package, it is best to take sausages of the 1st grade.

4. Color

The bright color of sausage indicates that it contains dyes

If the sausage is bright pink, it is best not to buy such a product, as it contains a lot of chemicals and dyes that give it such a bright color, and such sausage is not safe. If it has fatty inclusions, they should be white, not yellow or pink. Otherwise, either the sausage is stale or it contains a lot of coloring.

5. Taste

Natural sausage should not have a pungent odor

A good, natural sausage should not have a sour taste, as well as a lot of spices that "block" its true flavor to hide the stale meat.

6. The casing

Always check the shell and packaging on products

It should be slightly wrinkled due to moisture loss. If it is tight and elastic, then there is a lot of water in the sausage, which means there are too many additives.

If the product was made with liquid smoke, the casing color may be matte and slightly orange, and there may be a specific crust.
