Good afternoon

We have released the issues paper for the Importation of natural (sausage) casings. 

This paper was initiated in response to requests to update current import conditions for natural casings, into Australia.

This paper considers: 

• Proposed alternatives to existing treatments of sausage casings.
• Contemporary research.
• World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) recommendations for international trade.

The issues paper is open for public consultation at Have Your Say until 28 January 2025.
