No idea about the Italian wild boar. The issue is that the American FDA regulates foods packaged for sale, and the amount of processing that would be needed to render American wild boar safe according to their standards would make the enterprise uneconomical.

These regulations don't apply to Americans who hunt, kill, and eat wild boar for their own private consumption. But yeah, if they do so they should cook it thoroughly.




The idea is to ship it to Italy where wild boar is heavily regulated to avoid over harvesting.

Let the Italians figure out if its safe and if they want it.
