WHAT DOES “NATURAL CASING” MEAN?
• Natural casings are the cleaned, sanitized, salted intestines of either sheep or pigs. Typically hog casings would be used for sausage items, while sheep or lamb casings, being of smaller diameter and inherently more tender, would be used for wieners or Cheddarbest Sausages. These casings have been used for centuries, throughout the world, are completely edible (basically protein), and provide a distinctive snap and bite that make a Smith’s Natural Casing wiener the great tasting hot dog that it is!
