Natural casings can be pork or lamb. There are also collagen, cellulose (fibrous), and plastic casings. The type of casing used depends on the type of product being made and the size of the stuffed product. I use collagen casings for bratwurst and breakfast sausages that are about an inch in diameter. Natural casings are thinner and break easier, so they are used for smaller sausages. Plastic casings are used for large diameter sausages like balogna. Natural and collagen casings are edible, but cellulose and plastic casings are not, but the latter are strong enough to support large sausages. Sometimes bladders and stomachs are used for specialty meats - you probably wouldn't see them in your grocery store.

∙ 11y agoMost natural sausage casings are produced from the intestinal tract of pork, sheep, and beef. The three most popular beef casings come to us as "Rounds", "Middles", and "Bungs".
"Rounds" are made from the small intestine and have a natural curved shape. Rounds are around 40mm in diameter and are used in the production of Liver Sausage, Ring Bologna, and other ring sausages.
"Middles" are around 60mm in diameter and are used for stuffing Bologna, Cervalet, Salami, and other dry and semi dry sausages. Middles are a strong casing that is sometimes sewn to give them a uniform diameter and length.
"Bungs" or "Caps" are used for large diameter sausages like Large Bologna, Lebanon Bologna, Cooked Salami, and Capocolla. Bung sizes range form 4 inches to 5 inches plus.

Is hillshire farms beef sausage casings pork?
I looked and looked online today because I had the same question about a Beef Summer Sausage I received yesterday. To my surprise, I found NOTHING about the type of casing Hillshire used online. So I pulled up Hillshire Farms customer service number and found out that Hillshire Farms Beef Summer Sausage is packaged in beef casing. She went to say that any of their other sausages that list beef as the only meat ingredient are made with beef casing, as they would have to specify on the packaging if it were different. This ONLY goes for the Beef products. So, I would guess it's pork for any of the mixed meat sausages.
