What is sausage skin made of?
i know in the past it was made of a part of the animal but i had a supermarket own brand and it was papery is it grease proof or edible plastic or something much worse
Answers:
Synthetic sausage casings are made of collagen, a protein which in natural form makes up about 25% of an animal's proteins, with no plastics in its parentage whatsoever. Sausages with natural casings are much tastier, but the other form is inert in any practical sense and 'just passes on its merry way', unnoticed, unminded, and unlamented. No need to worry at all.
There are also forms of synthetic casings which are not actually meant to be eaten at all, but you could not mistake these for the edible ones: you'd be munching something ridiculously alike to plastic for a long time before you'd have to give up in disgust.
Hope this helps.
it is just a plastic edible plastic .... not much to worry about i mean it wont kill u
plastic, makes you wonder

Sometimes it's synthetic.
But authentic sausage will be made of intestines.
They use the rectums to make a lot of it. Yummy rectums.
I have never looked for Casings...
cas・ing
1; An outer cover: a shell casing; a tire casing.
2: The frame or framework for a window or door.
3: A metal pipe or tube used as a lining for a water, oil, or gas well.
4: A membranous case, often made of animal intestine, used to contain sausage or other processed meat.
I do know there are other casings
But the idea of doing my own sausage and the making an error why waste the meat.
Old style sausages (like Italian sausage) still use intestinal lining as casings.
Grocery store breakfast sausage comes in a platic tube you take off before you cook.
Hot dogs and prepped link sausages are steamed in plastic tubes or aluminum molds to get them to hold their shape, and then are removed from the casing or mold. They don't have any casing on them.
