Abstract

The invention relates to an optionally fiber-reinforced foodstuff casing based on cellulose hydrate, which is impregnated on the inside with a mixture containing 40 to 200 mg/m.sup.2 of an adhesive component and 20 to 2000 mg/m.sup.2 of a non-stick component. The ratio by weight of adhesive to non-stick component is between 4:1 and 1:4. The foodstuff casing is used as sausage casing, in particular for keeping sausage, which has a second packaging in the form of a film or is provided with a dip coating. The casing shows improved peelability.
