SC - FW: Anniversary banquet

[Michael Newton]

FDA? I'm not sure if this info is reliable since meat (even game meat)
normally falls under the USDA. I've heard of state approved meat lockers
slaughtering/processing deer, either farmed or hunter-provided, and I
haven't heard of any laws prohibiting sale of the meat. If it passes state
lines for sale, then it needs to be federally inspected, but that still be
USDA-FSIS, not FDA. Now it may be state law, in which I can't help you with,
but otherwise, I don't see a problem.

If you want, I'll  ask at work, but I think all I'll get is blank looks.
