Abstract
FSIS is clarifying its policy on the labeling of meat or poultry sausages made with natural casings. The casings of such sausages must be derived from the animal species indicated by the product labeling. A sausage made with natural casings derived from a different species is misbranded unless the product name is appropriately qualified or unless the statement of ingredients indicates the species from which the casings are derived.
