Nine packs all sold as pork sausages, judged on the one number the wrapper buries: how much of the banger is actually pork, not rusk and water. The spread runs from 42% to 98%, so the dearest pack is nowhere near the most meat, and one of the cheapest is nowhere near the worst. More real pork means more food and less filler for your money.
Ranked by cost per 100g of actual pork — shelf price with filler stripped. Sources on each pack's own page.
