Jennyleigh Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Tried to buy hot Italian sausage today and couldn't find any without sugar. Tips on brands or where to find? Sugar free bacon too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 4, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2015 For sausage, you might look for Mulay's brand -- they have both hot and mild Italian sausage. I haven't tried either of those, but like their breakfast sausage. I find them locally at a small health food store. Their website has both a store locator and a way to order online. You might also look for local butchers to see if you can special order. For bacon, I know US Wellness Meats sells compliant bacon, it's kind of pricy, and they run out often. I bought some before, and liked it, but it was not like the bacon I've bought in the store before. Smokier maybe? I just know the first bite or two was a bit of a surprise, but then I ended up liking it. Pedersons makes a version that is compliant, but not all of theirs are, so be sure you check the labels. I've heard of a few store brands that are too -- google Whole30 forum bacon to find past discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 4, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2015 If you're looking for sausage taste but don't care some much about the format (eg, in casing vs not), you can make your own. Ground pork with Clothes Make The Girl "Italian Sausage Seasoning" and formed into patties. That's my personal favourite sausage spice mix but you can find lots of them if you google it. Then you know exactly what is in your sausage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mMm Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm 99% sure that the pre-cooked trader joe's spicy italian chicken sausages are compliant! While making your own is really easy (I like that Chlothes make the girl one too!), but tor when you need something convenient and cased, these are pretty good! Ingredients: Skinless chicken, contains 2% or less of parsley, salt, fennel, red pepper, mustard, anise, paprika in a natural pork casing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 5, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi mMm, those sausages would be compliant. We would caution anyone who is going to seek them out to check the label on the one that they are about to purchase as ingredient lists can vary by region, unfortunately.

JJB Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Isernio's is a brand available at a lot of regular supermarkets. Their ground chicken breakfast sausage, at least the stuff I buy here in Oregon, is compliant and yummy. They also have a hot version...no links that I have seen though, just ground chubs.

JosieJake Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I actually came across some Andouille sausage that had no sugar. Found it at Whole Foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieMB Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Whole Foods has no sugar fresh chicken sausage in the meats area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Jackson Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I found the Italian sausage in the chub at whole foods, I can't remember the name but the have breakfast and italian sausage. I also found sugar free bacon at Whole Foods. Again, I don't remember the brand but it's easy to find because it has "Sugar-Free" in big letters on the package.

slpowers Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I went to the local farmer's market and 1 f the meat vendors had Italian sausage made with just pork & spices! I was thrilled. I think any good store like Whole Foods who make some of their own meats will carry it. I made W30 scotch eggs and they are delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 it's easy to find because it has "Sugar-Free" in big letters on the package. I would be careful with this and check ingredients. "Sugar" free might mean it has artificial sweeteners or even honey or some other "non-sugar" sweetener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
