(名詞/可數) 香腸稅:政府對紅肉與加工肉品 (如培根和香腸) 所課徵的稅,旨在減少這些食品的消耗量,因而降低相關的健康問題。
引句:
A new meat tax may be on the way, which is already being dubbed the ‘sausage tax’, in a bid to encourage us to eat less processed meat. Under the proposed tax, a £2.50 packet of sausages would cost £4.47 which, like the recently introduced sugary drinks tax before it, would in theory drive down sales of sausages and bacon.

Is it time for a sausage tax? Introducing a health tax on red and processed meat could prevent more than 220,000 deaths and save over US$40 billion in healthcare costs every year.
