Question

Is the peel of liverwurst good or bad for you?

Answer 1

I don't know about the casing.  I love liverwurst, but it is bad for you.

Answer 2

Well, if it is plastic then it isn't good for you.  If it is in natural casing then it won't make you ill, but it isn't intended to be eaten.  You would likely find it very chewy.  If you are in the US, the only company that I know of that produces it in natural casings is Usinger's.  

Answer 3

I don't think you're supposed to eat that. Just think of how many people handled that hunk of liverwurst before you got it. You know the germs from the hands of the people that handled that liverwurst, the people at the deli that slice it for you. etc.

  

Answer 4

I don't know.  I've never eaten it.  To me, it looks like plastic.  It isn't a natural casing like you would find on sausage.  So I always remove it.
