Proper Care, Handling, and Processing of Wildlife and Fish
Posted: August 19, 2011
Hunting and fishing are some of Pennsylvania’s most popular outdoor activities. While most outdoorsmen hunt or fish for sport, many of them also do it to provide food for themselves and their families.
To reduce the risk of foodborne illness, hunters and fishermen need to handle, process, and prepare wildlife and fish properly, being careful to prevent contamination from the field to the table. Penn State Extension has several publications containing guidelines and helpful hints to help you ensure that the food you’re providing is safe.
