Saucisson sec d'Auvergne IGP

Saucisson sec d'Auvergne IGP is a traditional French dry-cured pork sausage made from pork, salt, lactose, dextrose, pepper, garlic and a potassium nitrate preservative, encased in natural pork casing. It belongs to the processed meat family, delivering 393 kcal per 100 g, with high levels of fat (30 g), saturated fat (12 g), protein (30 g) and salt (4.8 g), a low sugar content (0.7 g), a Nutri‑Score of E and a NOVA classification of 4, indicating ultra‑processing. While it offers a rich protein source and authentic IGP quality, its high saturated fat and salt, plus the presence of lactose and a nitrate preservative, make it unsuitable for low‑fat, low‑salt or lactose‑intolerant diets.
