MP® Fibrous Casing North America

MP Fibrous Casings have the same characteristics of uniformity and mechanical strength as Fibrous Casings, but are coated externally, with a plastic film, a material which does not allow water and oxygen to go through the casing. These casings are recommended for the manufacture of meat products when it is important to keep the flavor in, increase yields and avoid oxidation. MP Fibrous Casings are ideal for water and steam cooked applications such as liver sausage, poultry rolls and hams.

The outside coating of the casing offers the following advantages:

• A glossy surface enhances quality printing
• Handling and slicing for cooked products is easy, without breakage risk
• Prolonged showering after cooking is not necessary, resulting in water and /or time savings

There are several types of MP Fibrous Casings, each carefully designed to meet the requirements of the market:

• "MPLS" treated, to reduced fat out, particularly for braunschweiger and liver sausage applications
• Cut pieces, requiring soaking prior to stuffing
• Shirred casings, requiring soaking prior to stuffing
• SHIRMATIC® Casing for no soak stuffing on automatic sizing equipment
