What it is

This is the cleaned intestine of a pig, typically the large intestine or colon. It is washed and processed to be used as a natural casing for sausages and hot dogs. The casing helps hold the meat mixture together during cooking and gives the final product its characteristic shape and texture.

Why it's used

Natural pork casings are used to encase ground meat mixtures for sausages, hot dogs, and bratwurst. They provide a natural "skin" that cooks well and offers a pleasant "snap" when bitten. Manufacturers use them to create a traditional sausage product.

Health notes

Natural pork casings are considered a food ingredient and are not subject to FDA additive regulations. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food. No specific health concerns are associated with their consumption at typical levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated natural pork casings as a distinct food additive.

Allergen info
