Abstract

The tubular foodstuff casing, in particular the synthetic sausage casing, made of cellulose hydrate comprises an external covering or impregnation comprising a fungicidal heterocyclic compound, in particular a benzimidazole or isothiazolone derivative substituted in the 2-position, which can be used, if desired, in admixture with glycerol monolaurate. The coating prevents infestation of the casing by molds, in particualr when it is stored in the moist state.
