For example, if the casing on a beef sausage were derived from a sheep, the label must indicate it is a sheep casing. The issue has religious significance because some religions forbid the consumption of certain species. The proposed rule has been praised by Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, among others.
