The Darker "Look" of Organic

Organic sausages simply look different than their non-organic cousins because of the use of organic spices.

Most sausages today are made with water soluble seasonings. These seasonings essentially dissolve in water and are then added to the suasage meat. The result is a sausage that has the "look" of the meat it is made from with little or no color change. In fact, many commercial sausages have water soluble preservatives and acids that actually enhance the red color many asociate with freshness.

Andy's Organic sausages use, as you may have guessed, organic spices. These spices are ground fresh to form our seasoning blend, then mixed in a powder or crushed form into our organic sausage meat. These fresh ground spices impart their color to the meat.

Organic suasages thus appear darker, often much darker, than their non-organic equivalents. Thus, when buying organic sausages, you must rely on the "Sell By" date and not that "fresh look" you may be accostomed to seeing in mass produced commercial products.

The "look" of organic may be new to you, but this was the way all sausages looked not so long ago. You can be confident that our product is fresh and is full of Old World Goodness-- this is our promise to you in delivering the benefits of our organic sausages to you and your family.

Enjoy!

SPECIAL NOTE: We have recently introduced a line of organic sausages that use water soluble spices that fully meet the requirements for organic certification. This change was compelled by difficulties in sourcing organic spices that met our quality and microbe count standards. Unlike most water soluble spices, our formulation is free of genetically modified organisms, synthetic solvents and irradiation. Please feel free to contact us with any questions about this alternative formulation.
