Buy local, support local

This simple infographic really nails it; especially where sausages are concerned.

Before you take home a pack of snags from the grocery store, check what percentage of ‘Australian Ingredients’ have been used in their making. Anything less than 90% and you’d be wise to put them back!

Some of the best-known brands contain as little as 18% Australian ingredients. That may account for little more than the water content! So where does the ‘meat’ in a pork sausage come from, if not an Australian farm?

In contrast, Gold Coast manufacturer Eve Smallgoods purchases quality pork from local suppliers with farms in SE Queensland and Northern NSW.

Their butchers hand-cut the meat from the bone, to ensure gristle and bone chips are excluded. No gluten, filler, preservatives, artificial colours or sulphites are added; just the essentials, such as high quality herbs and spices.

If you care about flavour, texture and how you feel after consuming a sausage, then read the ingredients label carefully. You deserve something better than a product made from scraps or unrecognisable imported ingredients… or at least, we reckon you do.
