Bone and wrap your meat

The meat needs to be clean with no bone. You may want to freeze some meat and then add to it, making a good sized package. That’s ok, even if you shot the animals in different places. The key is having the ID number which allows us to track the meat if we need to.

Because the Government has only given broad parameters re the donation of meat it is over to us to maintain a high standard of preparation 

If in doubt throw it out.

A good check is this: ‘Would I be happy to consume this?’
