Sausage links have weird plastic around them?!
I was cooking some Jimmy Dean sausage links, but when they were started turning brown, I noticed like a rubbery/latex plastic wrapped around each individual one!. Is this normal, safe to eat!? What is it exactly!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
It's perfectly safe to eat!. That's the casing used to make sausage!. Without it, the ground meat inside would fall apart!. It would look like little chunks of the bulk sausage you see in the butcher's display case!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
sounds just like the skin on them so yeah it's safe to eat, it's just there to hold it all together!.
you can generally buy skinless sausages if you don't like it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Some sausages are made with natural casing (intestine) and some are made with synthetic!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
