What You Should Know

You'd find this Andouille Pork Sausage in the refrigerated meat or specialty sausage case, grabbed for weekend grilling, gumbo, or a spicy breakfast skillet. Its smoky, spicy character and snappy casing give an indulgent, comforting Cajun vibe that evokes backyard cookouts and hearty home-cooked meals. The ingredient list is mostly pork and culinary seasonings with a manufactured smoke flavor and pre-mixed seasoning blend, indicating a processed meat product with a seasoned texture rather than a minimally prepared whole cut.
