Liverwurst You’ve Been Eating Is Not What It Claims to Be—Grocery Store Shock! If you’ve ever picked up liverwurst at your local grocery store, you might have assumed you were picking up a classic, hearty German or Central European meat product. But recent findings are raising serious questions: Is the liverwurst you love really what it claims to be? A growing number of consumers and food experts are uncovering a shocking truth that’s shocking—what’s labeled “liverwurst” may not be authentic liver at all. ### What Actually Is Liverwurst? Liverwurst is traditionally made from finely ground liver—most commonly beef or pork liver, mixed with fat, spices, and sometimes binders—then casing it into a spreadable or sliced form. For decades, it’s been cherished in German, Austrian, and Hungarian cuisine as a flavorful, nutrient-rich sausage. But not all commercial liverwurst meets these authentic standards.
