"Cheaper sausages also contain filler known as sausage meal, usually made of wheat or rice flour," Puharich says. "Water is then added to the sausage and absorbed by the meal, which contributes to the weight of the sausage. You're basically paying for water.
Fresh or raw sausage: ground meat, fat, and spices that have been mixed but not cured or cooked (the meat is still raw). It's typically sold in casings, but you can also buy fresh sausage meat in patties or just loose like any other ground meat.
Traditionally, link sausage is stuffed into natural casings made from the intestines of animals, but artificial casings are also available on the market. These days most commercial sausages use synthetic casings.

Sausage processing and production
The raw materials for sausage manufacture are derived from skeletal muscle as well as variety meats such as heart and liver. Also, fat tissue is a major raw material for sausage manufacture. Nonmeat ingredients are major contributors to the quality, taste, and flavor of sausage.
To make a proper pork sausage, you should use a pork butt or pork picnic shoulder. Both come from the pig's shoulder area and naturally have the appropriate ratio of meat to fat. Picnic shoulders cost less per pound but have more connective tissue and sinew to remove than a pork butt.
High in protein
The traditional pork sausage is packed with protein, containing on average 11g each. The benefits of protein are well documented for maintaining and building lean muscle mass and improving tissue health. Whether you are looking to bulk up on muscle mass, or slim down, protein is vital!
Essentially, the differences between ground pork and ground sausage really come down to their seasonings.

In Australia, fresh sausages are separate to processed meat as our food regulations control nitrate levels and fat content in sausages (ANZ Food Code Standards).
Processed meat means any meat that's been preserved or changed. This could be by smoking, curing, salting, canning or adding preservatives. Processed meat includes ham, bacon, salami and sausages. It also includes processed white meat such as chicken nuggets and sliced lunch meats.
In Australia, we have regulations that state that at least half of all sausage content must include lean meat flesh. This can come from any part of any animal but is mostly the trimmings (or off-cuts of premium cuts like the rump or blade) of pork, beef or veal.
Chitlins, which are pork intestines and sometimes called chitterlings, can be contaminated with Yersinia enterocolitica and other harmful germs that can make you sick. That's why you should take precautions when you're making chitlins or another dish that uses pork intestines – or any time you handle raw pork.
Chitlins are the intestines of a pig, boiled down, fried up, and served with apple cider vinegar and hot sauce. This utterly unique delicacy represents one of the earliest values of Southern cooking: Use everything you've got.
Generally, "natural" sausage casings are made from the sub mucosa of the intestines of meat animals (beef, sheep, and swine).
