to cook it first or can it be eaten out of the package, i mean it tasted fine to me but i'm not sure if i will get sick, because its late over here and don't want to go the hospital. so will i get sick from eating cold summer sausages out of the package?
thanks

i use to do that all the time when i was younger
&& i never got sick
the meat is already "cooked"
so you wont get food poisening or nething
its like packaged cold "cooked" shrimp
you can eat it straight out of the package
but you're suppose to cook it more for taste && ect.
fyi: i know it taste good when its cold
but it taste ALOT better when cooked

Summer sausage has already been cooked, so, no, you won't get sick unless it was a bad sausage. Some sausages (usually labeled "fresh") are not precooked, so you want to cook them, but they do not include summer sausage.

no, it is fine - it is pre-cooked. You can usually tell because cooked sausages are hard or firm and darker in color. Raw sausage meat is usually found in the fresh meat counter like breakfast sausage or Italian sausage and has the consistency of uncooked hamburger meat.

no you will not get sick, i make it and eat it all the time. summer sausage is fullycooked and as long as you refrigerate it after opening it it will keep for several days try it with club crakers and pepper jack cheese

It's already pre-cooked so you have nothing to worry about. Just sit back and enjoy it, I prefer it hot but I have eatten it many times cold.

it should have been cooked in boiling water until hot to kill any bacteria acquired during packaging, but you should be fine.
