Shelf life isn't the reason I avoid them. The reason I won't buy big bags is they don't have a very long life due to their natural predators when released into the wilds of our house. To that point, we've never had a bag of kettle chips so long that they get stale.

I've tried quite a few of the sausages and have found them to be hit or miss. I'd have to look up the flavors to recall which I like and which I don't. I also like the low sugar and relatively low calories. I don't think I've tried one with black beans in it yet, but would probably side with Gaobest that they don't belong in a sausage.
