Eight maple breakfast links, about half a pound, sweetened with brown sugar and maple flavor. Small, quick-cooking links in a collagen casing — a skillet and about ten minutes. Raised on pasture in Monroe, North Carolina. Vacuum-sealed and frozen the week it was cut. From the label Ingredients: Pork, brown sugar, salt, spices, maple oil (natural and artificial), less than 2% silicon dioxide added to prevent caking, bovine collagen casings. To cook: This is ground pork, so take it to 160°F — that one's different from the whole cuts.

Approved, but EFSA noted in 2018 that data on its nano-sized particles were too limited to set a safe intake.
Added sugarSugarLimited risk
Added sugar; the WHO and the US Dietary Guidelines advise keeping added sugars under 10% of daily calories.
Matched from the ingredient list. Risk levels summarise findings from EFSA, the FDA, IARC and published studies; they explain a concern, not a diagnosis.
