Sausage Gravy

by Conagra Packaged

This is a heavily processed frozen breakfast item loaded with seed oils, artificial additives, and questionable preservatives. The combination of multiple inflammatory ingredients and ultra-processed components makes it a poor choice for regular consumption.

  • Enriched Wheat Flour – safe · Refined flour that has been enriched with synthetic vitamins to replace those lost in processing.
  • Water – safe · Essential ingredient for hydration and texture.
  • Dextrose – safe · Simple sugar derived from corn, rapidly absorbed and can spike blood sugar.
  • Soybean Oil – controversial · Highly processed seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids that can promote inflammation.

  • Sodium Aluminum Sulfate – controversial · Aluminum-containing compound that raises concerns about aluminum accumulation in the body.
  • Palm Oil – controversial · Highly saturated oil often heavily processed and linked to environmental concerns.
  • Ground Pork – safe · Provides protein but quality depends on farming practices and processing methods.
