Testing of bear meat for Trichinosis
Does anyone know whether there is a lab in Calgary that can test bear meat for Trichinosis? Thanks.

As long as you cook the meat to 160 then you are good.

Pretty sure all those greasy bush pigs have it.
|
yeah, they basically all have it from what I understand, same with pork. Cook until 160 deg and you are good to go regardless.

From the Mayo Clinic...
"Irradiation will kill parasites in wild-animal meat, and deep-freezing for three weeks kills trichinella in some meats. However, trichinella in bear meat does not die by freezing, even over a long period. Neither irradiation nor freezing is necessary if you ensure that the meat is thoroughly cooked. May 18, 2018" |
I would consider 160F to be the bare minimum for that nasty stuff. I’d go 165 or more..braising works for me 100C

I like the fact that if you get it, and later on something eats you, then they get it too!!

This is true of Canadian pork. Not so with USA pork. They don't require the same standards as we do.
