You mean it actually states a proper SW syn value on the package?
Can you post a pic? I didn't think they used syn values as they aren't an affiliated company...

The syn value depends on which type of sausage they are

Because the 20 calories per 1 syn rule only applies to foods that do not contain any free foods. It's best used for things like chocolate, crisps, cakes, sweets, etc because they don't use any free foods.
The heck sausages contain a free food either in the form of pork or chicken.
These are the syn values for some of the Heck sausages

Pretty much yes
Bear in mind it doesn't apply to all food, these are made with reduced fat pork, not all sausages are made with low fat meat, so always best to check here first
