Colored cellulosic casing with clear corridor

A process for making small diameter skinless sausages using casing comprising an elongated tube having first and second longitudinal portions, wherein a colorant or opacifier is longitudinally and continuously dispersed throughout the wall of at least one of these portions to provide it with different optical properties which are useful e.g., for quality control and identification of color development, meat type and particle definition and wherein the casing is deshirred, stuffed, cooked and peeled from the cooked sausages which are then repackaged. In a preferred embodiment, a sausage is made using a casing where the surface area of the second portion is less than or equal to the first portion and these portions are visually different having measurable L, a, b and opacity values.
