Landjunker Mettenden

Mettenden are traditional smoked German raw sausages, typically made from minced pork and beef. This specific product is part of the Landjunker line, which is a private label brand primarily associated with the retail giant Lidl. The packaging indicates it is smoked and intended for cooking (zum Durcherhitzen), often used as an ingredient in hearty stews or boiled dishes.

The brand Landjunker is a proprietary label created by Lidl to offer various meat and poultry products. These products are manufactured by various high-capacity German meat processing companies under contract. The brand originated in Germany to serve the local discount supermarket market, focusing on providing quality meat products at competitive price points. Ownership remains under the Lidl & Schwarz group, ensuring a streamlined supply chain from German production facilities to European store shelves.
