Is pheasant high in dairy proteins?

Watch for

• Lead shot is the main issue.Fragments scatter well beyond the visible pellets and cannot be reliably picked out, and food agencies advise frequent game eaters, children and pregnant women to limit lead shot game. Birds shot with steel or bismuth do not carry this problem, and increasingly say so on the label.
• Hanging is the histamine question.Traditional practice hangs pheasant for several days to develop flavour, and that is bacterial and enzymatic breakdown of protein, which produces histamine and tyramine. A well hung bird is a high amine food regardless of how the fresh meat grades.
• The salicylate and oxalate grades of C sit oddly on plain bird muscle, and they are shared with a block of other game rows.Treat them as defaults rather than as findings.
• Histamine liberation is unrated rather than clean.
• Farmed and wild pheasant are different propositions.Most supermarket pheasant is reared and shot on managed estates, which controls the timeline; a bird from a rough shoot has an unknown history.
