ARTIFICIAL CASING [1 record]

Record 1 2018-01-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meats and Meat Industries
DEF

A skin or casing fabricated of synthetic material into which sausage is stuffed.

CONT

The use of artificial sausage casings made of cellulose, collagen, textile fibres or plastics is firmly established in meat processing. The advantages of artificial casings are their attractive designs, easy stocking and uniform calibre.

OBS

The casing may be inedible (for example, bologna casing) or edible (for example, breakfast link casing).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Salaison, boucherie et charcuterie
CONT

Lorsque des saucisses de Francfort sont vendues «avec peau» dans des boyaux artificiels, tous les renseignements obligatoires doivent être imprimés sur les boyaux.

CONT

On doit porter une attention spéciale à la nature du boyau utilisé. Par exemple, des «saucisses de bœuf à 100 %» ne doivent pas être embossées dans les boyaux naturels d'une autre espèce animale. Toutefois, un boyau de collagène comestible ou tout autre boyau synthétique serait acceptable.
