Welcom
Rating: 5.0
Our rating is opened by incredibly tasty and natural sausages. The product is not only manufactured in accordance with all quality standards, but also packed in a sealed package that ensures its safety for a long time. The complete absence of preservatives in them and the low content of food additives in the composition make these sausages as safe as possible for consumption.
Buyers in their reviews note a delicate pleasant aroma, as well as incomparable taste features. Thanks to high-quality cooking, they can be consumed raw without unnecessary fears. But it is worth noting one drawback: the discrepancy between what is written in the composition and what is actually contained (carrageenans and starch were found, the presence of which was not mentioned on the label). These substances are not capable of harming the body, but it would be better for the taster to know about such components in advance.
A little about the organoleptic characteristics of the product:
Color and general appearance (in section) – light pink minced meat, evenly mixed around the entire perimeter, homogeneous mass.
Consistency, texture – juicy and springy.
Appearance – intact shells with a dry surface, the absence of fatty edema and various kinds of pollution.
The company was founded in 2004 and since then has not ceased to delight customers with world-class meat products. Their goal was to distribute natural, environmentally friendly products to as many cities as possible and win the trust of customers. The plant was created in one of the cleanest areas of the Moscow region. The team of professionals for the current year does not give up its principled positions and gives its “favorites” only invariably tasty and healthy products.
Vkusvill
Rating: 4.9
This brand was included in the rating in connection with the results of numerous studies. Sausages were tested for microbiological and physico-chemical parameters. The product complies with safety requirements, as well as standards for organoleptic properties. A sufficient amount of muscle tissue contained and a low content of connective tissues in the composition. Does not contain nitrites and phosphates.
Of the shortcomings, it is worth noting that the label contains false information about the percentage of protein (here it is 15% less than expected). Also, not everyone will like the high price (above the average for products of this type).
During heat treatment, sausages do not boil soft, do not burst and do not give in to deformation. The water does not stain and remains crystal clear. Strong shell and dense texture. The gray color is due to the absence of nitrites and food colorings in the composition. You can find the products of this manufacturer in any health food store.
The VkusVill retail chain works for those who care not only about mental health, but also physical, and choose only the best for their family. Their history began in 2009 after the opening of the first Izbenka store, which in subsequent years was destined to change its name to a modern one. Despite the difficulties that arose in the process, the company tried to stay afloat and soon received a new impetus. To date, their delivery covers the whole country, and the guys are not going to stop!
Dymov
Rating: 4.8
Sausages of this production not only meet the necessary safety requirements, but also, having good organoleptic characteristics, are in demand among buyers. The sample has reliable information about the labeling and constituent components. The analysis did not reveal: starch, preservatives of sorbic and benzoic acids. The manufacturer did not abuse the available opportunities and made the product “for people”. Absolutely safe to use.
Disadvantages: proprietary saltiness, which may not be to everyone’s taste. The nutritional values differ from those certified on the packaging. They disintegrate during cooking, although this does not particularly affect the taste. Contains dyes. Increased moisture capacity (when compared with average values).
Elastic and juicy, they are ideal for use raw, as well as for frying, boiling and conventional heating. Manufactured in accordance with quality system standards.
In 2001, three production sites “Dymov” and four livestock complexes were founded, today they are considered one of the leading Russian manufacturers of meat products. For cooking, high-quality meat is used, and cooking takes place according to the recipes of European cuisines. Their team consists of more than 2500 experts in their field, and 208 of them have been with the company since its inception.
Cherkizovo
Rating: 4.7
Like the previous products of our rating, Cherkizova products have passed the examination. It also meets all safety requirements. The content of proteins, fats, salt, sodium nitrites is normal and does not exceed the standards. There are no inconsistencies in labeling, names and specified components. Contains no preservatives. Packing – the vacuum polyethylene package guaranteeing full safety of production.
Customers do not like that the nutritional value of the product differs from that indicated on the label. And yes, the product is a bit overpriced.
A little about the organoleptic characteristics of the product:
Color and general appearance (in section) – light pink minced meat, evenly mixed around the entire perimeter, homogeneous mass.
Consistency, texture – elastic.
Appearance – bars with a dry clean surface.
The taste is spicy, salty sausages without impurities (standard ingredients, however, a little more spices are added than from other manufacturers, perhaps this is a proprietary feature).
Cherkizovo follows the preferences of its customers and tries to fully meet their tastes. Ahead of all incoming requests, they immediately offer new products. A team of experts is responsible for the result of their work and produces only high-quality meat products.
Miratorg
Rating: 4.6
One of the largest producers of meat and meat products. Despite the high taste characteristics of the products, the price is relatively low (compared to analogues). Does not contain plant ingredients such as soy. Spicy flavor is achieved through the use of spices. The technology of preparation (smoking on beech and cellulose skins) determines the resulting deep taste.
It can be consumed both without heat treatment (raw), and fried, boiled and cooked on a side dish. The traditional composition includes flavor enhancers. Transparent packaging allows the buyer to verify the quality and integrity of the product. In the process of cooking, they do not deform and do not burst, they remain in their original form. Cartilage is not found, dense texture.
Disadvantages: “rubber” shell, which is hard to get rid of. Excessive elasticity.
Miratorg plans to further expand its networks, providing the highest level of service. They occupy a worthy place among other equally large companies. They make food for people and always with love.
Yola
Rating: 4.5
In our opinion and the results of laboratory studies, the product is accepted as absolutely safe for human health. A high quality product that meets the advanced safety requirements and Roskachestvo standards. Intact natural casing, which is not easy to remove without violating the integrity of the sausage. Chemical testing did not reveal nitrites, heavy metals, antibiotics or nuclides, herbal ingredients, starch or carragianans.
Transparent plastic packaging allows you to see the structure of each sausage. Soft non-rubber structure. The meat flavor is pronounced. Full compliance of the information indicated on the label with what is actually there. Well cooked product. This product has been awarded the Russian quality mark. But sausages are not widespread everywhere due to the fact that it is simply impossible to create a quality product at such a price in large quantities.
Yola is the largest meat processing enterprise in the Republic of Mari El. The company was founded back in 1933 and continues to work today. The company controls every preparatory process, up to the cultivation of fodder crops for animals.

They strive to produce the best of what is now possible to find on store shelves, and are confidently moving towards their goal.

MIKOYAN
Rating: 4.1
For the manufacture of meat is used selected beef and pork. Natural milk and fresh cream are added. Thanks to light heat treatment and smoking, sausages become more aromatic, so they do not require flavor enhancers. In a chilled state, products can be stored for 15 to 20 days (in sealed packaging).
The presence of preservatives and dyes, starch, radionuclides, heavy metals and nitrites was not detected. Found carrageenans and oxytetracycline (antibiotic) in quantities not exceeding the norm.
Despite the undoubted advantages, this product also has disadvantages:
Misleading buyers and mentioning an inaccurate composition of the product on the label;
Discrepancy with the declared figures (actual weight, energy value);
Antibiotic residues found.
Consistently high product quality is achieved through regular updating of the livestock breeding system. Mikoyanovsk Meat Processing Plant is carefully studying all the possibilities for improving technology and trying to present the product in the best possible light.
