Premio Sausage, Chicken, Italian, Sweet 14 oz
What You Should Know
Premio Chicken Italian Sweet Sausage (14 oz) is a refrigerated, ready-to-cook link you’d find in the fresh sausage and breakfast meat aisle of a mainstream grocery — shelved near pork and turkey sausages, breakfast links, and packaged Italian-style meats. The packaging is typically vacuum-sealed or in a clear plastic tray with a branded cardboard sleeve that highlights "Real Italian taste," "60% less fat," and "Gluten free." This product fits weekend brunches, casual weeknight pasta or sandwich nights, and game-day grilling where shoppers want a familiar, slightly lighter sausage option. Premio positions itself as an Italian-American, family-friendly brand: traditional flavors (fennel, black pepper, paprika) presented with contemporary health halos like reduced fat, gluten-free and "No MSG added," aimed at mainstream consumers seeking comfort foods with a perceived healthier twist. There’s no organic or certified-natural claim — the product leans on heritage and convenience rather than premium organics. Processing context: it’s an industrially produced fresh sausage made from chicken with small amounts of added sugars and flavoring agents. Sensory details: cooked links deliver a pleasant snap from natural hog casings, a moist, tender interior, and a sweet-savory profile with fennel and smoked-paprika notes; corn syrup and dextrose add a hint of sweetness and caramelization when seared. Rituals include pan-frying for breakfast, slicing into pasta or subs, or grilling for outdoor gatherings. The label copy and nutrition claims create a health-forward tone while the product itself remains a seasoned, convenient processed meat staple in American home cooking.
