YOU are the best inspector!

In fact, in many wildgame processing facilities you are the ONLY inspector. Here, at Cordray's, we choose to have our plant inspected by DHEC and SC Meat and Poultry Inspection Service so that we can process wild hogs and our farm raised Cordray Farms beef.  If a meat plant only processes wild game, no one, at all, from any agency, comes into their plant to determine if their conditions are sanitary and safe.
When you bring your meat to a processor, ask to see where they process wildgame. Even inspected facilities do not have to process and store wildgame in inspected areas. You should ask to see hanging carcasses, where the cutting occurs, and where packaging takes place.   Some places don't process your meat where you drop it off. If that's the case, you should know where it is being processed and how it's transported there. Use your nose to determine if conditions are sanitary. If you question what you are seeing, ask!
I'm putting out this word because many people think all food establishments are inspected. I had someone recently say, "If they're still open, they must be ok because the State would close them if they were bad." That's just not the case. The state of SC, DNR, and the federal government have no jurisdiction over processing wildgame. You determine what's safe for your family! Until legislation makes all wildgame processors undergo some sort of inspection, you may be putting your family at risk if you don't inspect how your venison, wild hog, and alligators are being handled.
