Is moose whole30-compatible?

Watch for

• Moderate histamine and mild tyramine describe handling, not the species.The single biggest variable is how fast the carcass came down in temperature. A moose quartered onto ice within hours behaves nothing like one packed out over a warm day and hung for a week.
• Moose liver and kidney are the parts Nordic food authorities advise against eating.Cadmium accumulates in cervid offal over the animal life span, so older moose carry the most, and the advice tightens further for children and in pregnancy. It applies to the offal specifically, not to the muscle meat.
• Lead from rifle ammunition fragments on impact and scatters well beyond the wound channel.Mince is the worst case, because a single fragmented shoulder gets distributed through an entire batch of moose burger. Copper or other non-lead bullets remove the issue entirely.
• Moose is a cervid, so chronic wasting disease surveillance covers it.It has been confirmed in moose in Norway, Sweden and Finland as well as in North America, and the prion is unaffected by cooking or freezing.
• Almost no moose is eaten as plain meat.It gets ground with pork fat to make it workable, or braised for hours with onion, juniper and red wine, and those additions carry far more trigger load than the moose does.
• Alpha-gal syndrome includes moose as it includes all mammalian meat.
