If you have always wondered what sausages are made of, then maybe hearing that baby poop is used in it is not the first news you should hear. Latest research says baby poop bacteria can be made use to make sausages a lot tastier and healthier.

Most sausages use the process of bacterial fermentation that renders the meat of its reddish color and even its tangy taste or its chewy surface, Live Science wrote. Even those who create other products like cheeses, beer and bread are also known to use the same procedure.

Medical doctors have always acknowledged the advantages that probiotic bacteria can offer especially in yogurt. And with this, several scientists in Spain believe that such bacteria can also be used in fermenting sausages, CBS Local stated. In the end, they risked getting probiotics from baby poop (no matter how absurd it may sound).

Upon further discovering that there are higher amounts of probiotics that can be taken from baby poop, they decided to focus on 43 fecal samples taken from healthy infants whose ages reach up to only six months old. The materials were taken straight from the diapers that were given by the midwives involved in support groups participated by new parents, Fox News wrote.

The research team made a fermented pork sausage from the Mediterranean which is called "fuet." It is similarly compared to the Spanish sausage called "chorizo." Take note that the researchers did not directly use the infant feces in the sausage but just had the bacteria cultured from the baby poop.

As result, the strain from the bacteria of the infant feces grew to about a hundred million cells per gram for each sausage. According to the co-author of the study, Anna Jofr who is also a food microbiologist stated that it was "enough to produce health-promoting effects to people."

The sausages were confirmed tasting like the usual fuet as per the opinion of professional tasters, not to mention that the experimented sausages even turned out in low fat and low salt version.
