If a wild game animal is slaughtered under U. S.D. A. guidelines, can it be prepared and served?

The correct answer is; Yes, it can be served but only if done under the guidelines.

To serve the game meat in a restaurant, it must of been killed and dressed all while under the inspection of an official from the USDA. Wild game meat cannot be sold in stores. The cost incurred for this inspection is the hunters responsibility.

The U.S.D.A guidelines are very specific and have detailed instructions on wild game on their official website. In some states, schools can serve wild game if the game was donated to the school. The school may need a permit to serve this meat depending on the laws in their state and city
