I hear many bad stories about what goes into sausages. Seeing they're so cheap what are they putting in them?

Lots of fat. Filler - cereals, rusk, soya etc Offcuts of meat, possibly mechanically recovered (where bits of flesh stuck to the skin, bone etc are blasted off with high pressure water hoses). Bits of the animal you wouldn't normally eat, skin, guts etc. Mixed together into a slurry, add stabilsers and binding agents to thicken it and so you can pump it into the artificial skins. Add some salt to make it taste of something, add pink colouring so it changes from grey to a pink 'sausage' colour, squirt it into the skin, flog em off.
Sausages are delicious, but as with most meat these days, if you like it, you should eat a smaller amount less often and get some decent stuff in. Better one decent sausage than 8 cheapies.

It's mechanically recovered meat. Basically all the crap thats left on the bones after the good stuff has been taken off and the bits that they wouldn't even give to the contestants on i'm a celebrity because their that disgusting. They mush it all together and bung it into sausage skins.

Do you really want to know! are u going to buy some? lets put it this way, the meat content is very low!! a good sausage should have a minimum meat content of 65% to 70% i think if you check the ingredients you will be quite shocked at the low lever of meat! and the rest of the rubbish that they put in them!

I think if you're likely to eat any "value" sausages, you're probably better not asking what's in them! My advice would be to buy proper sausages and just eat fewer - it probably works out just as cheap!

Your right to worry they are full of rubbish meat and fat aditives and biscuits.
I make my own sausages now do not trust supermarket stuff. Since I found half a matchstick in one

A bit of pork, but mostly cereal and fat to pack them out
