Bad taste. We removed it from the table in safety.

This last package of this sausage had a bad taste. Kind of metallic, but also a freezer burn taste that evolves into pungent taste to it. We made everyone at the table stop eating it after two people at the table both tasted an odd flavor and questioned whether it had gone bad. Purchased mid July and freezer kept the entire time.

Tastes like chemicals

This stays in rotation at our house for various dishes. It seems like the last several that I've bought (probably since late last year) have tasted like chemicals. The cook on them is weird and they taste so strongly of chemicals that I just throw them away. I just threw away an entire pot of Jambalaya because the sausage is not eatable. I will no longer be purchasing this brand. I would rather pay more at a normal grocery store for less product from another brand than to continue buying something that tastes so unsafe to consume. I will not feed this to my family. This is more than a bad batch, this has been from different stores and different batches over the last 8-10 months.

It’s been nasty lately

We usually love these, the only kind my son likes and the price is great however my last 4 purchases have not been good. There’s a weird taste and smell almost metallic like. I’m afraid to buy again so have switched to hillshire. Please pull these from the Frederick Walmart. I want purchase from another store to see if the same taste is there. I threw them out each time so no more.

Portioning and storage

Package consists of 3 full links. I recommend cutting each in half, making 7 ounce half links which are good for most applications, and wrapping each in cellophane wrap before freezing. Then, one can thaw as many are are needed for the application.
