This means that if you&#8217;re a certified food manager wanting to serve locally hunted or trapped game in your restaurant, you&#8217;ll have to find a source that&#8217;s been approved for sale for food service purposes. Fundraising events, however, can host wild game events as long as the donated game meets the proper criteria. Game served a wild game dinners must meet the following food safety standards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Has been legally hunted or trapped<\/li><li>Is pure, unground animal meat<\/li><li>Was properly cleaned at a Minnesota Department of Agriculture licensed facility<\/li><li>Was eviscerated less than two hours after harvest<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To be legally hunted, the animal must have been taken in season and in an area where hunting is allowed by licensed hunters. Any wild game animal, be it bird, deer or other game, taken illegally cannot be offered at these events. They also must be cleaned in a facility licensed by the MDA to ensure procedures have been followed to prevent cross contamination and that other food safety protocols have been followed. Game that was processed at a private residence or unlicensed facility cannot be served. It&#8217;s also important to make sure the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodsafetynews.com\/2021\/10\/game-food-safety-tips-for-hunters\/?utm_source=Food+Safety+News&amp;utm_campaign=a37f9c30d2-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_f46cc10150-a37f9c30d2-40109635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">animal is processed<\/a> as soon as possible after it was caught. Hunters have a two-hour window to make sure remove the bowels of any animal intended for a wild game dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a final note, it&#8217;s also required that a full receipt be obtained by the organization accepting the wild game donation. This receipt must contain the name, address and license number of the donating party as well as the date the meat was obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you host charitable fundraisers that include serving wild game?
