Casing Guide
Many customers call them lamb casings and many call them sheep casings. They are the same product: the finest, most tender natural sausage casing available, and ours are Halal Certified. This guide covers sizes, uses, and preparation.
Globe Casings supplies Halal Certified lamb casings, also sold as natural sheep casings, in diameters from 18 mm to 28+ mm. They are the right choice for lamb sausage, merguez, breakfast links, cocktail sausages, frankfurters, and chicken or turkey sausage. Call 201-939-3335 or request a quote.
✅ Halal Certified Lamb Casings. Our natural sheep casings, also called lamb casings, are Halal Certified.
There is no difference. Lamb casing is the common trade and kitchen name for the natural casing made from the small intestines of sheep, cleaned, graded, and preserved in salt. On our site you will see both names, and both lead to the same product page for sheep casings (lamb casings).
Lamb casings are the thinnest natural casing, with a delicate bite that stays tender when cooked. They are edible and remain on the finished sausage.

💡 Producing halal sausage? Pair Halal Certified lamb casings with your halal meat for a finished product that is halal from the casing to the filling. Call 201-939-3335 to discuss your certification requirements.
Lamb casings are available in tubed form, where each strand of casing is loaded on a separate plastic sleeve, or as preflushed hanks, where each preflushed hank is packed in a plastic bag in salt brine.
Rinse thoroughly and soak in fresh water before stuffing. Because the casing is natural, slight diameter variation is normal. Lamb casings are delicate, so avoid overstuffing.
