Tag: Alginate casing

According to Beyond Meat's official website, the casing used on Beyond Sausage is 100% plant-based and safe to eat. This edible casing, made primarily from alginate derived from algae, provides a satisfying texture without any animal products.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human and animal body, making up a significant portion of skin, bones, and connective tissue. Due to its origins, standard collagen casing, used widely in commercial sausage production, is not vegan. However, the rising demand for plant-based foods has led to a boom in innovative vegan alternatives that mimic the texture and functionality of traditional casings.
