About Sausage meat

Sausage meat is ground or finely chopped meat prepared for sausage making, commonly combined with fat, salt, and seasonings. The meat species, proportion of fat, seasoning, and whether the mixture is raw or cooked vary by product.

It is usually a moist, cohesive mixture with a seasoned savoury flavour and a texture that becomes firmer when cooked. It may be sold loose, in bulk, or formed into links. Raw sausage meat and cooked sausage products are different food forms.
