Smithfield, one of the world's top 100 food companies and the largest pork processing manufacturer in the eastern United States, has been a leader in integrated pork processing since 1987. Compared with other foreign brands, Smithfield is well-known in China, and was acquired by Shuanghui for $7.1 billion in 2013, becoming one of the representative brands of Western sausages.
Smithfield's brand name originates from a town of the same name in the United States, the famous ham capital. Today, Smithfield's products are not limited to ham products, but also sausages, luncheon meats and all kinds of delicatessen. Among them, American sausage is the most common type of sausage in China, usually known as hot dog sausage, there is no special spice, the main raw materials are pork and water, which is more in line with the taste of the public.
Smithfield's American sausages are made from high-quality pork hind leg meat with no added colorants, flavor enhancers or sweeteners. The sausage is tender and juicy, and although the overall meat quality is not as firm as the Zonle sausage, it is also full of meat aroma and not too fatty. There are mainly original, black pepper and cheese flavors, cheese-flavored sausages are added with processed cheese, and the raw material content of cheese is not less than 45%, and processed cheese is processed on the basis of natural cheese, and the taste is softer than natural cheese, which is more acceptable to the public. As a cheese sausage, Smithfield is not inferior, the cheese flavor is stronger, and it goes well with the sausage.
In addition, the black pepper flavor is added with 0.3% black pepper, which has a slight spicy flavor and neutralizes the greasy feeling of the pork, and the taste is good and worth trying. No other spices are added to the original sausage, which restores the original meat aroma, but the taste is slightly sour due to production process problems.
