Title: Labeling of Natural or Regenerated Collagen Sausage Casings 
Abstract: FSIS is requiring that the source of natural sausage casings be disclosed on the product label if they are derived from a different type of meat or poultry than the meat or poultry in the enclosed sausage. Establishments producing, manufacturing, or using natural sausage casings or sausages encased in natural casings are also required to maintain records documenting the source of the casings. FSIS is requiring that the labels of sausage products encased in regenerated collagen casings disclose the use of the regenerated collagen casing. However, FSIS is not requiring that records on the source of the regenerated collagen casings be kept.
