% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

FAQ
Braunschweiger is a type of liver sausage that is smoked, which does not make it much different compared to liver sausage.
Quite unhealthy. One slice already gives 3.06 g saturated fat, 49.84 mg cholesterol, and 324.52 mg sodium, and processed meat intake has been associated with higher cardiometabolic risk, with one large meta analysis linking processed meat to a 42% higher coronary heart disease risk and a 19% higher diabetes risk per 50 g/day.
Yes, you usually can. In the U.S. and Canada, braunschweiger is commonly sold as a smoked, ready to eat liver sausage, so it is often eaten cold on bread or crackers rather than cooked again.
Yes, it has 3.06 g saturated fat and 49.84 mg cholesterol, and if you are worried about LDL cholesterol, replacing the saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat should be a priority, rather than consuming more saturated fat.
📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Braunschweiger liver sausage is associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease and death, according to UCLA Health, based on a decade-long global study involving numerous individuals. Harvard Health suggests that replacing such processed meats with healthier alternatives can lower the likelihood of these conditions. Despite these risks, Medical News Today identifies pork liver sausage as a significant source of iron, a vital mineral for oxygen transport in red blood cells. While it can contain the hepatitis E virus (HEV), a zoonotic virus that causes acute and chronic hepatitis, the heating process during production significantly reduces its infectivity by achieving a substantial reduction in infectious HEV.
