Why is my chorizo foaming?

Chef's answer
Chorizo has a very high fat content, which leads to the soft and mushy appearance and feel before and after cooking. As long as it is a bright red when taken out of the package/casing and then a duller red or even a light brown after cooking, it is still good, and it is still safe to eat..
