This page exists because these joins exist. A class name that joins to no register entry, no standard, no composition row and no buying guide would not have a page.

US standard of identity

No section of 9 CFR part 319 defines this product. That is worth knowing: it means the name carries no compositional guarantee in the United States, and two products sold under it may have been made quite differently.

Buying it

Two unrelated products share this word. The Louisiana andouille is a coarse smoked pork sausage for cooking. The French andouille de Vire is made from tripe and is a protected regional product. Neither is a substitute for the other.

What to read on the label. Louisiana or French. The French one is offal and the Louisiana one is not.

Worth repeating in a buying context: no section of 9 CFR part 319 defines this product, so in the United States the word on the front of the pack is a marketing term. The compositional statements that are regulated are the ones on the back, in the ingredient list and the nutrition panel.

This is not a protected designation. The listing below is a product of this type, not a registered name. The register entries for this class are listed above and none of them is what is linked here.
