  • The original doesn’t name the sausage. The times fit fresh, raw links about an inch thick, such as bratwurst or Italian sausage. Fatter links need a few more minutes, so go by the thermometer.

How this label was figured
Ingredient lineCountedUSDA foodNote
6 fresh sausage links, such as bratwurst or Italian sausage606 gSausage, Italian, pork, mild, raw
  • Each link is figured as a fresh mild Italian pork sausage weighing 101 grams raw, the USDA’s weight for one link, with all of its fat. Bratwurst and other links will differ.
  • The USDA lists no vitamin D for Italian sausage, so that line counts none from it.
