DUKE'S Hot & Spicy Smoked Shorty Sausages, 2.5 oz Snack Bags (7-Pack) — Hickory-Smoked, Serrano Heat

DUKE'S Hot & Spicy Smoked Shorty Sausages are bite-size, hickory-smoked pork snack links infused with serrano pepper oils for a smoky, fiery protein snack.

These individually portioned 2.5 oz snack bags from DUKE'S deliver a convenient, savory meat snack made from fresh (never frozen) pork, slow-dried in small batches and smoked over 100% hickory wood. Each link is seasoned with diced serrano pepper oils to give a noticeable but balanced heat, while the small-batch drying process keeps the texture tender and flavorful. Packaged as a seven-count supply, these shorty sausages are designed for on-the-go energy, lunchbox additions, or pantry stocking—without added nitrites or nitrates (except those present naturally in sea salt and cultured celery powder).
