Product Insights
Saucisson Sec is a dry‑cured pork sausage from the French cured‑sausage tradition, classified in the meat group of the PNNS dietary system. It carries a Nutri‑Score of E and belongs to the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category, reflecting its high levels of fat (35 g), saturated fat (15 g) and salt (4.23 g) per 100 g, as well as the presence of added sugars and the preservative potassium nitrate. While it provides a substantial protein amount (26 g) and authentic pork flavor, its high energy density, elevated saturated fat and salt, and the inclusion of milk‑derived lactose make it a less suitable choice for health‑focused diets.
