                                According to manufacturers and ingredient labels, many commercially-produced country sausages do contain a small amount of sugar. While typically known for its savory, peppery flavor, the inclusion of sugar is a common industry practice to balance saltiness and aid in caramelization. However, the total amount is usually low, and homemade versions allow for complete control over ingredients.
