I have a couple packs of natural sausage casing. Both sheep and hog. Both are vacuumed packed and salted, never opened. These are at least 4 years old and have been in the fridge downstairs. Nothing looks bad, there is no swelling. Reckon they are still ok to use?

I have used some that were 2 years old, smelt funky but they say as long as they are salted, they don't go bad. I didn't see and expiration date on either packs.

Opened both packs today. Nothing smells rancid. Some of the casing looks a tinge brown. I don't think they can really go bad being packed in salt. At worst, they may be hard to stuff or just keep splitting.

I haven't used it yet. Meat is in the game fridge. I'll be processing Tuesday.
