Whole30 Compliant Sausage
Whole30 sausage can’t have sugar in it, which rules many varieties out. It also can’t have any nitrates or MSG, along with a long list of other unapproved additives.
It can be SO hard to find a Whole30 compliant sausage!
This list of Whole30 Sausage brands is SUPER comprehensive (read: LONG), so if you’re looking for a particular type or brand, I would suggest doing a quick “find” (command F) and type in that keyword so it will land you right where you need to be!

I love Niman Ranch! However – Aurelia’s Spanish Chorizo is my go-to when it comes to Whole 30 sausages. It’s SOOOOOO good…..a little smoky with just the right amount of spice!
Ingredients:
Pork, Spanish pimenton, fresh garlic, salt, celery powder, lactic acid starter culture
Lactic acid starter culture sounded odd and I had to spend some time looking it up. It’s a gluten-free, dairy-free, natural ingredient for preserving food by fermenting it.
