About Us
Over 50 years ago, we began more than a sausage company—we created a legacy that led to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, being known as the "Bratwurst Capital of the World." Sheboygan has always had a proud German heritage—people with a strong work ethic and a history of excellent sausage. Old Wisconsin is built on this foundation, and it can still be tasted today in our quality and slow, hand crafted approach to sausage making. Sheboygan was a natural place to start. The unique climate on the shores of Lake Michigan is perfect for sausage making. With that knowledge, Old Wisconsin began as Thielmann’s, a small sausage shop owned and operated by Frank Thielmann and William Stolzman. Even today, we still use many of their high-quality sausage recipes. Due to increased demand, we opened our first plant in 1953 and changed our name to Thielmann’s Old Wisconsin Sausage Company shortly after.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit cleanly into a strict keto or low-carb macro count?
Yes. Each serving is 90 calories, 5g protein, and 0g sugar, making it easy to slot into daily keto or low-carb tracking without breaking your plan.
Are there any fillers or extenders I should worry about for clean eating?
No. The sticks are handcrafted from premium cuts of pork and beef with no binders, fillers, or extenders added.
Is this safe for a gluten-free wellness plan?
Yes, the product is gluten free, so it fits cleanly into gluten-free and keto lifestyles.
Will the bold spice disrupt a clean-eating or anti-inflammatory routine?
The ingredients are simple and recognizable, and the heat comes from real Serrano, Jalapeño, and Red peppers rather than artificial flavorings, so it fits most clean-eating approaches.
How does the protein content compare to a protein bar for post-workout recovery?
Each serving delivers 5g of protein with no sugar, offering a savory, satisfying alternative to a protein bar right after the gym.
Is this a good option for meal prep fridge storage?
Yes. Once opened, the resealable pouch keeps sticks fresh in the fridge so you can portion them into meal prep containers for the week.
Can I use this as a post-workout snack straight from my gym bag?
Yes, sticks are ready to eat, shelf-stable before opening, and the resealable pouch makes it easy to grab a serving right from your gym bag.
Will this help me stay on plan when I get a late-night craving?
The bold three-pepper heat and savory smoked flavor tend to satisfy a snack craving quickly, and at 90 calories with 0g sugar, it won't blow up your macros.
Is this suitable for high-protein, low-calorie days during a cut?
Yes, at 90 calories and 5g protein per serving, the sticks are a filling, low-calorie option to support a high-protein cut.
Do I need a fridge to keep these at my desk for the whole week?
The unopened pouch is shelf-stable, so you can keep a sealed pouch in a desk drawer. Once opened, refrigeration will help preserve best flavor and texture.
How do these compare to a protein bar for macros?
Unlike most protein bars, these sticks have 0g sugar, no fillers, and deliver savory protein, which many low-carb and keto dieters prefer over sweet bars.
Is this a better office snack than chips or pretzels on a diet?
Yes. You get 5g of protein and bold flavor for only 90 calories with 0g sugar, which tends to be far more satisfying than carb-heavy chips or pretzels.
How does this compare to turkey sticks for a high-protein snack?
Old Wisconsin sausage sticks are hardwood-smoked and made from premium pork and beef with a three-pepper kick, giving a richer flavor and bolder spice than typical turkey sticks.
Is 5g of protein per serving actually enough for a post-workout refuel?
For a quick between-set or post-session bite, 5g of protein helps bridge the gap, and you can easily eat multiple sticks to scale up intake as your plan requires.
Will the spice bother my stomach on an empty stomach at the office?
If you are sensitive to heat, try a smaller portion first. Pairing a stick with water or a meal can help if you're eating one on an empty stomach.
I track macros very strictly, will the calorie count vary stick to stick?
Nutrition values are based on standard serving sizes, so stick weights can vary slightly. For tightest tracking, weigh or count by labeled serving.
How should I store the sausage sticks after opening?
After opening, reseal the pouch and refrigerate it to preserve the best flavor and texture. The unopened pouch is shelf-stable and does not need refrigeration.
Are these sticks ready to eat straight out of the package?
Yes, the sticks are fully cooked and ready to eat. Just open the resealable pouch and enjoy, no prep required.
How long does an unopened pouch last before it expires?
Each pouch is stamped with a best-by date on the packaging. Stored in a cool, dry place, the unopened pouch stays good well past any short-term trip.
Do these sticks fit in a standard lunchbox or gym bag?
Yes, the individual sticks are sized to fit easily in a lunchbox, gym bag, car console, or desk drawer without any extra prep or containers.
Can I freeze them for long-term storage?
The unopened pouch is shelf-stable, so freezing isn't necessary. Once opened, refrigeration is the recommended way to keep sticks fresh.
What's included when I order a single pouch versus the 2-pack?
A single order includes one 14 oz resealable pouch of Hot & Spicy Sausage Snack Sticks, and the 2-pack includes two of the same 14 oz pouches. No additional accessories are required.
Are these safe for people with common food allergies?
The product is gluten free, but you should always review the full ingredient list on the pouch for any personal allergens like soy, dairy, or specific spices before eating.
Is the packaging safe and sealed when it arrives?
Yes, the resealable pouch is factory sealed for freshness. If the seal appears broken or damaged on arrival, contact the retailer for a replacement.
What's the difference between sausage sticks and beef jerky?
Sausage sticks are made from seasoned, smoked pork and beef in a stick format, while beef jerky is typically dried, sliced beef. Sticks tend to be richer, smokier, and more savory, with a more filling bite per piece.
