What is this food?
This is raw sausage/pepperoni (processed meat). It’s a protein-rich food, usually eaten after cooking.
Why it matters to health
Processed meats like sausage and pepperoni can be high in saturated fat and sodium. In your 100g serving, it has about 18.6g total fat (with 7.81g saturated fat), 1015mg sodium, and 61mg cholesterol. It also has some fiber (about 2.3g), but the main takeaway is balance: enjoy it for protein, but keep portions and frequency in check so sodium and saturated fat don’t add up too much over the day. If you’re having it as part of your 3 meals plus 1–2 snacks, it’s best to treat it as an occasional add-on rather than a daily staple.
Healthier tips
- Portion: keep it small (e.g., a few slices) and pair with more filling, high-fiber foods like vegetables or beans.
- Balance your plate: aim for half non-starchy vegetables, a quarter rice/bread/pasta, and a quarter protein—sausage can be part of that protein portion.
- Watch sodium: if you eat sausage/pepperoni, go lighter on salty sauces (soy sauce, bagoong, instant seasoning) and choose less-salty toppings.
- Add fiber: include salad, sautéed veggies, or whole grains to help your meal feel more complete.
- Cooking safety: since it’s raw, cook thoroughly until fully done.
