About HOT CHORIZO GROUND SAUSAGE, HOT CHORIZO
Meijer Hot Chorizo Ground Sausage is a fresh ground pork sausage sold under the Meijer brand at Meijer, Inc. supercenter stores across the Midwest. The ingredient list includes pork as the primary ingredient, followed by spices including mustard, water, dehydrated garlic, sodium lactate, salt, vinegar, oleoresin paprika, BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), propyl gallate, and citric acid. Oleoresin paprika provides the vivid red color characteristic of chorizo-style sausage. BHA and propyl gallate are synthetic antioxidants used to retard fat oxidation and extend shelf life; both have been subjects of ongoing regulatory scrutiny internationally, though they remain approved by the FDA. Citric acid functions as both a flavor agent and a secondary antioxidant synergist.
The product contains mustard as a declared ingredient within the spice blend, which is a top-14 allergen under European Union food regulations, though it is not currently among the FDA-mandated top-9 in the United States. Consumers with mustard allergies should take note. Sodium lactate is a salt of lactic acid derived from fermentation and functions as a moisture retainer and antimicrobial agent. This sausage contains no wheat, dairy beyond any trace from processing, eggs, peanuts, or tree nuts. Per 100 grams, it provides 393 calories, 30.36 grams of fat, 7.14 grams of carbohydrates, 19.64 grams of protein, and 3.6 grams of dietary fiber. A 56-gram serving delivers approximately 220 calories. This chorizo is intended for cooking in scrambled eggs, breakfast burritos, tacos, rice dishes, and soups.
