Health notes
Cooked country style sausage is a food ingredient, not a food additive, and is regulated by the FDA as a meat product. As a processed meat, it can contribute to the sodium and saturated fat content of a meal. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified processed meat as "carcinogenic to humans" (Group 1), based on sufficient evidence that consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer. This classification indicates a hazard, but does not quantify risk.
