Saucisson classique

Saucisson classique is a French dry-cured pork sausage that falls under the processed meat category. It is made from high-quality French pork, is gluten-free and contains no added preservatives or colourings, which are positive attributes. However, it is classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4), carries a Nutri-Score of E, is high in saturated fat (14 g per 100 g) and salt (4.7 g per 100 g), contains lactose (a milk allergen), and is packaged in a single-use plastic film, which are notable drawbacks.
