How long will your sausages keep in the refrigerator?
Once opened, we recommend enjoying your sausages within 5 days for the best flavor and texture. Keep them refrigerated until you’re ready to cook.
Can your sausages be frozen?
For the best eating experience, we don’t recommend freezing our sausages, as thawing can affect their texture. That said, they’re perfectly safe to freeze for up to 9 months, provided they’re frozen before the package’s code date. Once thawed, use within 3 days.

Are your chicken sausages healthy?

Additionally, The Sausage Project is nitrate-free, nitrite-free, and rich in B vitamins, protein, iron, and zinc.

Are your sausages gluten free?
Our products are naturally gluten free. However, because they’re produced in facilities that handle other ingredients, trace amounts of gluten may still be present.
What kind of casings do you use?
We use natural pork casings because they deliver the superior texture, juicy bite, and signature snap you’d expect from a great sausage. Curious why? We wrote a whole article about it (somehow, it involves astronauts).

What type of meat is used for your chicken sausages?
The Sausage Project uses a blend of dark and white meat chicken and natural pork casing.
What is Flavor Studding?
Flavor Studding™ is The Sausage Project’s proprietary process for creating bolder, more satisfying chicken sausages. Rather than finely blending ingredients until they disappear, we incorporate larger pieces of real ingredients—like Calabrian chili peppers, fresh herbs, real cheddar cheese, and chunks of white meat—throughout every link. That means you can actually see what you’re eating, while enjoying more dynamic flavor and a unique bite every time.

Are hormones or antibiotics used in the chicken?
No, our chicken is always all natural and raised without any hormones or antibiotics. Ever.
