Aussie punters have put the big supermarket chains to the ultimate test by trialing their democracy sausage offerings to find which one is best.
Coles, Woolworths and Aldi snags were put to the test by consumer advocacy group Choice - and it found there was a clear winner.
Its report found 'the golden ratio for a perfect sausage is 80 per cent meat to 20 per cent fat', observing each grocery store used different ratios.
Aldi got nods for cheaper product, but the Coles sausage won top gong for higher meat content
Top marks were awarded to a the balance of fat, meat and sodium content, and how many Aussie ingredients were present in each sausage product.
Coles nabbed top prize, namely for its meat and fat ratio, with 77 per cent of the product containing meat compared to the fat content.
German giant Aldi came in behind Coles in second place for having the cheapest snag, but lost points for high fat content with 21.4 grams of fat per 100g.
Its packaging, which said their sausage contained 'beef, lamb or chicken', also prevented them from taking first prize honours.
