How long smoked sausage like Hillshire Farms stay fresh after the expiration date will depend on how the sausage is stored. It will stay fresh for a short while after if it is stored at optimal conditions. However, once you pass the Use By Date, the sausage will no longer be at the peak of its flavor and freshness.
Hillshire Farms is a company that offers various types of meats. Though Hillshire Farms is known best to market various types of sausages, such as smoked sausage and sausage links, one could also expect to find several lunch meats, such as ham and turkey, offered by the company.
You can freeze summer sausage for up to one or two months accirding to the USDA.
I looked and looked online today because I had the same question about a Beef Summer Sausage I received yesterday. To my surprise, I found NOTHING about the type of casing Hillshire used online. So I pulled up Hillshire Farms customer service number and found out that Hillshire Farms Beef Summer Sausage is packaged in beef casing. She went to say that any of their other sausages that list beef as the only meat ingredient are made with beef casing, as they would have to specify on the packaging if it were different. This ONLY goes for the Beef products. So, I would guess it's pork for any of the mixed meat sausages.
