What it is
A natural sheep casing is the cleaned and processed intestinal lining of a sheep. It is a traditional, edible casing used to encase processed meats like sausages and hot dogs. The casing provides a distinct 'snap' when bitten.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use natural sheep casings to form sausages and hot dogs, giving them their characteristic shape and texture. They are preferred for their natural origin and the pleasant mouthfeel they provide. They are commonly found in fresh sausages, bratwurst, and frankfurters.

Natural sheep casings are considered a food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of protein and do not have specific regulatory limits set by bodies like JECFA or EFSA. There are no widespread health controversies associated with their typical consumption.
Allergen info
Natural sheep casings are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
