Is kielbasa healthy to eat?
Chef's answer
McCullough, ACS: Kielbasa is OK if you eat it only occasionally. One suggestion is to use small amounts to flavor a dish, instead of considering it the center of your meal. A hamburger is a fine alternative, but you should limit your total red meat consumption to a few times per week or less.
