Abstract
A food casing includes an outer barrier layer, and an inner absorbent layer formed as a separate body from the outer barrier layer wherein the outer barrier layer and the inner absorbent layer are in frictional contact. Another food casing includes an outer barrier layer, and an inner absorbent layer formed as a separate body from the outer barrier layer wherein the outer barrier layer and the inner absorbent layer are not physically connected. A method for forming a food casing includes wrapping an outer barrier layer around an inner absorbent layer and sealing the outer barrier layer along a seam. The inner absorbent layer and the outer barrier layer of the resulting food casing are in frictional contact.
