Mixed & Miscellaneous Poultry Products

part of: Chicken

Mixed poultry products encompass a range of smallgoods and processed meats where chicken or other poultry is combined with beef, pork, or both. Vienna sausages, cocktail frankfurts, and similar canned or shelf-stable meat products are typical examples. These are pantry staples in many Australian households, often used as quick snacks, in lunchboxes, or sliced into simple meals.

These products have a smooth, finely ground texture and mild, salty flavour. They’re a familiar sight at children’s parties and in school lunches, and they also turn up in fried rice, pasta dishes, and as pizza toppings.

While they’re convenient and affordable, they sit firmly in the processed meat category. Available in tins or vacuum-sealed packs, they keep well and require no further cooking.

How it's made

Chicken meat is ground together with beef and pork, then blended with seasonings, salt, and curing agents. The mixture is stuffed into casings, cooked — typically by smoking or steaming — and then packed into cans or sealed packaging. The canning process involves heat sterilisation, giving the product a long shelf life without refrigeration.
