Rusk

Rusk is an essential ingredient in sausage production, providing the ideal texture, locking in moisture, and ensuring flavour is distributed evenly throughout the mix.

At Foodmaker, we offer a wide range of rusk options to meet the needs of different recipes and production methods. From traditional fine, medium, and coarse grades to premium gluten-free alternatives, our blends deliver consistency, reliability, and outstanding results in every batch.

Whether you’re making traditional butcher’s sausages, premium ranges, or products tailored to specific dietary requirements, our rusks are designed to help you achieve the perfect balance of structure, juiciness, and flavour. Backed by our expertise and support, you can trust Foodmaker to keep your sausages tasting their very best.

Low Salt

Low-Salt Sausages that still deliver on flavour

Today’s consumers want more than taste. They expect cleaner labels, healthier claims, and low-salt recipes.

Our Flavour-First Reformulation delivers bespoke low-salt seasonings that cut sodium but keep succulence, texture, and flavour intact.

Our development team works with you to:

• Review your current sausage seasoning and set reduction targets
• Reformulate with reduced sodium while protecting flavour and texture
• Use natural enhancers and umami boosters to build richness back in
• Keep you compliant with FSA guidelines and retailer nutrition policies

Let’s make your low-salt sausages healthier, compliant, and every bit as tasty.

Brief Us

Gluten Free

Gluten-Free sausages without sacrificing flavour

Reducing allergens in sausage production shouldn’t mean compromising taste or texture. You can go gluten-free and still deliver the juicy, satisfying bite customers expect.

We offer gluten-free seasonings with rusk created for sausage production, easy to use and compatible with your current process, no special handling necessary.

Our gluten-free solutions help you:

• Cut allergen risk without cutting flavour
• Retain moisture for succulent sausages, fresh, chilled, or frozen
• Deliver clean-label appeal to meet retailer and consumer demand
• Broaden market reach with free-from options customers can trust

With years of flavour know-how, we help you stay ahead of dietary trends.

Go gluten-free without compromise — and keep your sausages tasting incredible.

Low Fat

Low-Fat Sausages without compromise

Cutting fat in sausage production often means losing mouthfeel — that juicy, satisfying bite customers expect disappears.

We’ve created special seasoning blends that work with our Fat Replacer system, made just for sausages. They bring back the juiciness, rebuild the texture, and deliver that satisfying bite missing in leaner recipes.

Our proven systems help you:

• Retain moisture through cooking and storage
• Carry flavour more effectively in lean sausages
• Restore juicy bite for consistent customer satisfaction
• Stay compliant with nutritional targets while keeping taste on point

With Foodmaker, you don’t have to choose between lean specs and delicious sausages — you can have both.

Brief Us

Added Protein

Today’s consumers are more protein-conscious than ever. What was once the domain of the gym goer has now gone mainstream, with shoppers seeking out higher-protein foods for benefits such as weight management, appetite control, and overall wellbeing.

At Foodmaker, we’ve developed a range of added-protein seasonings designed specifically to help sausage manufacturers tap into this growing demand. Our expertise means we can:

• Advise on the protein levels required for on-pack claims

• Create bespoke blends that enhance both flavour and functionality

• Support you in adding value to your range with health-led innovation

By working with us, you can deliver sausages that not only taste great but also meet the rising demand for high-protein foods.
