Autoclaved ham sausage is branded as "Ham Sausage" in China.[1] Ham sausage is mass-produced and consumed in China, and several varieties of the product exist in the country.[2][3] The Chinese ham sausage is a mixture of meat and starch, as well as low concentrations of water, vegetable oil, salt, monosodium glutamate and other food additives.[4] A very small amount of ham sausage produced in China is exported to Japan (around .02% in 2004).[a] The Chundu Group is an example of a Chinese company that produces ham sausage.[6]

In German cuisine, ham sausage (Schinkenwurst) is made from ham mixed with varying amounts of bacon, ground pork, beef, meat trimmings, garlic, and spices.[7][8][9][10] The mixture is stuffed into casings, can be smoked, and is cooked in scalding or boiling water.[7][8] Ham sausage can be cured using a curing solution that is rubbed into the ham, and machines can perform this process.[11] Ham sausage has a marbled appearance due to the ham and bacon pieces in it, which can be observed when the product is sliced.[7][12] German ham sausage can be sliced and then grilled or fried, and is also used as an ingredient in soups and stews.[7]

Smithfield Foods, an American[21] meat processing company, introduced ham sausage as part of its product line in the late 1970s.[b] Sales projections for Smithfield Foods ham sausage were estimated to be 12,000 pounds (5,400 kg) per month when the sausage was introduced, and average sales thereafter of 38,000 pounds (17,000 kg) per month exceeded the initial estimate.[22]

The Tai Foong Canned Goods Co. in Shanghai, China, produced and purveyed canned corned ham sausage and canned smoked ham sausage as early as 1915.[24] The Tianjin Meat United Processing Factory in Tianjin, China, produces Yingbin brand ham sausage in contemporary times.[3][25] G.A. Müller and Könecke are German companies that produce a ham sausage called Schinken Bockwurst (English: ham bockwurst) and other sausage products in contemporary times.[26] Smithfield Foods of the U.S. has mass-produced ham sausage.[22]
