Special sausage
rating: 0+x

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-XXXX are to be kept on the fridge at the facility’s cafeteria, as they’re mostly harmless and any effects caused by their anomalous properties are gone ten minutes after consumption, they must be marked as “Special”, however, and personnel must be aware of this.
Instances of SCP-XXXX can be safely consumed by any kind of personnel, preparation, however, requires to be done and/or be supervised by Level 2 security personnel due to its effects. (See description).

Description: SCP-XXXX, colloquially known as “special sausages”, are cylindrical meat products with a diameter of 3.5 centimeters and a height of 10 centimeters. Tests have been inconclusive, as its ingredients have not yet been identified beyond just “meat and spices”, it is unknown specifically what meats and spices comprise the sausages, however it is completely safe to eat.

Instances of SCP-XXXX have been observed to interfere with sentient beings’ cognitive abilities, it has been proven to temporarily lower the being’s cognitive functions, making them forget how to do basic math and slowing down the thought process when cooked.
It’s also notable that SCP-XXXX’s effects are different when uncooked; it is known that they eliminate the sense of curiosity about the ingredients, both of these effects only occur while in proximity of a SCP-XXXX instance, about 1 meter or less, and don’t seem to occur at the same time.

Due to the danger that edible SCPs present, several instances were subjected to numerous tests with class D personnel. (See addenda for details on the tests and additional information)

Addendum 1: Tests were conducted in order to find out if SCP-XXXX is harmful to the health, instances were prepared in a variety of ways and fed to class D personnel.
None of the subjects presented any long lasting health consequences and were back to their former mental capacities after ten minutes from consumption.

Subjects report that it tastes “very good” and that they didn’t notice anything different in their behavior, they did, however, feel confused when asked to solve simple additions and subtractions and showed visible signs of a slightly lower intelligence.

Addendum 2: SCP-XXXX was found at ██ ███████ Butcher shop in █████████, ███████, █████ ████.
It appears that the people running the butcher shop have no knowledge of SCP-XXXX and are seemingly immune to its effects; they claim to have heard rumors about the SCP’s effects though.
They will gladly show anyone how they make their “special sausages” and only one time out of ten an instance of SCP-XXXX will be created, when this happens, the observer will inevitably forget the ingredients and preparation of the object and their curiosity about them will be immediately suppressed.
The butcher shop is currently being monitored.

Cross-testing with other SCPs is suggested, but requires approval and supervision in order to be permitted.
