Summary
This mild Italian sausage is a processed food with a moderate level of processing, which limits its score potential. While it contains beneficial ingredients like pork and spices, the presence of organic canola oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, detracts from its health profile. The use of organic canola oil, despite being organic, is still considered highly processed and not ideal for health.
