Criteria for the purchase of unskinned game

The carcass must be properly cleaned. There must be no changes in the colour of the meat.
Carcasses that are not free from excrements will be rejected.
If the game is not clean (e.g. if the carcass was not properly opened or eviscerated) there will be a deduction of 10 % off the purchase price.
For legal reasons game that was killed due to a cause other than hunting cannot be accepted anymore.
Completely or partly skinned game as well as game delivered without expensive parts like saddle or filet or wild boars killed during the mating season cannot be accepted.
The saddle is classified quality I if it is undamaged up to the 10th rib counted from the filet.
Wild boar meat will undergo analysis for trichinella at our premises. In accordance with the EU Council Directive (EG) no. 2075/2005 of 5 December 2005, wild boars must be delivered with head as samples have to be taken from the jaw or diaphragmatic muscle AND from the muscle of the lower front leg.
The hunter or authorised person has to make sure that animals with a radioactive contamination exceeding 600 becquerel are classified unfit for human consumption and are not delivered.
Game from small farms cannot be purchased. A certificate issued by the appointed veterinary authority has to be presented if the game is delivered from a big farm (the game is treated like free living game).
The internal temperature of game must be between -1°C to +4°C upon delivery. If the animal is delivered within 12 hours after the shooting the temperature may be higher.
The temperature of the cold store for unskinned game must be between
-1°C to max. +1°C and the air circulation must be controlled in order to chill the game immediately upon delivery.
If the game is rendered unfit for human consumption by the official veterinary the supplier will receive a confirmation.
