OUR SUMMER SAUSAGE CAME OUT "RICH" HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN OPENING YOUR SUMMER SAUSAGE! THE FAT IN SUMMER SAUSAGE TYPICALLY STAYS WITHIN THE SAUSAGE RESULTING IN THE WONDERFUL FLAVORS YOU CAN EXPECT FROM OUR PRODUCTS! DUE TO A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE FAT WE USE, SOME OF IT MADE ITS WAY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE SAUSAGE. SAME GREAT FLAVOR WITH AN UNFAMALIAR LOOK. BECAUSE OF THIS VISUAL ODDITY, WE HAVE REDUCED THE PRICE!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND UNDERSTANDING!! Carefully selected very lean beef, made with an exclusive blend of natural seasoning and a touch of garlic. No water, msg, fillers or additives are used. Smoked over hickory embers to enhance the flavor and seal in the savory goodness. Makes a great gift! 18oz. Gluten Free
