Bruce has again picked a product prepared from the food under discussion,
rather than the food itself.

Ok, here's the ingredients list for the actual sausage, rather than
the prepared sausage balls:

FRESH PORK, WATER, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF: SALT, SPICE AND SPICE EXTRACTIVES, SUGAR, MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, BHA, CITRIC ACID, PROPYL GALLATE.

As for the propyl gallate (an antioxidant):

A 1993 study in fat rodents found little or no effect on carcinogenesis by propyl gallate. A 2009 study found that propyl gallate acts as an estrogen
antagonist. Further investigation into European (or British) approval for
this additive is left as an exercise for the reader.

And here's a recipe for sausage balls:

1 pound ground pork sausage
2 cups biscuit baking mix
1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

Mix, form into balls, bake.
