So I found a box of polish sausage seasoning with natural casings that is probably 4 yrs old That hasn't been opened and also found pepper snack stick seasoning with collagen casings that has been opened. Found them in storage where it has gotten in the high 80's. I was gonna throw them away unless anyone thinks it would still be ok. The seasoning feels and looks fine but the natural casing has a light tan color to it.

I would not take a chance with the natural casings,seaoning may still be good.Buy new casings.IMHO

Collagen casing should have been refrigerated after opening so cut your losses don't waste good meat.IMHO

Don't waste the Meat. Ground seasonings have no more than a one year self life if sealed. If the casing has seen humidity changes, not in air tight packaging, are probably not any good. Not worth messing with...JJ

Yeah that's what I figured, I'm gonna actually throw the seasoning aswell. Fresh is always best imo. Thanks for the reply.
