<h3 class="head-title wow fadeInUp">1) HOW CAN I TELL IF A SAUSAGE IS MADE IN NATURAL CASINGS?</h3>
<p class="info-text wow fadeInUp">A distinctive bite or snap can be an indication when compared to artificial casings and you can tell if it appears soft and fleshy. Also, natural casings are curved with tightly closed ends (sometimes hand-tied with strings) while artificial casings tend to be wrinkled at the ends and are partially opened up like wrapped sweets. You can also look for the claim on the label.</p>
