Sausage (Italian, Cooked) Nutrition Facts

Sausage (Italian) is a meat food whose cut, visible fat, and raw or cooked state strongly affect its composition. It provides protein, monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, and potassium. Buy it refrigerated with intact packaging, follow the use-by date, and refrigerate promptly; once opened or cooked, use the FDA cold-storage chart rather than relying on smell alone.
