Sausages have a relatively wide range of PRAL acidity values. Depending mainly on the meat they are made from. Except the one alkaline sausage with a negative acid load. But you can make any sausage meal alkalizing if you add plenty of vegetables.
Before you use this PRAL Sausages List, you must understand and agree to PRAL Food Lists Principles
Acid-Alkaline Sausages List
I list sausages with the lowest PRAL index first. Because these have the lowest acid load. So the least acid-forming foods show first. But you can click the food table headings to change sort order.

For the sausage category, the average PRAL values are 6.73 per 100 grams and 2.18 per 100 calories. To put this in context, compare with other protein foods in the Food Category List.
Your Alkaline Sausages
Remember, factors such as growing conditions, variety, and preparation methods affect all food nutrients. USDA database values are an average of many samples. So your PRAL values for sausages will vary from day to day. But they are always an estimate of actual acid load on your kidneys. Which I explain more in the notes about PRAL principles on the category list page.
