About Jimmy Dean

Jimmy Dean is a breakfast sausage and frozen breakfast sandwich brand owned by Tyson Foods, sold at grocery chains and mass retailers across the US. It is the leading brand in the US breakfast sausage category and one of the most recognized frozen breakfast food brands for on-the-go consumers.

Common concerns with Jimmy Dean products

Jimmy Dean frozen breakfast sandwiches contain BHA as a preservative (listed under 'BHA added to preserve freshness') and sodium nitrite in the sausage patty. BHA is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program and as an endocrine disruptor by the EU. Sodium nitrite carries processed meat carcinogen concerns per WHO/IARC. The eggs in some sandwich varieties are processed egg product with water, modified cornstarch, and artificial color — not whole eggs. High sodium (700–820mg per sandwich) is also notable.
