Game Birds

Please note that all the meat in this category may contain some shot or shot fragments, as they are culled by hunters using shotguns or rifles.

In most cases the shot is not found in the meat, as shotgun pellets normally rest in the bone or the internal cavity and bullets usually travel right through the body. Shot is made from copper, steel, tungsten, bismuth or lead. For more information on the phasing out of lead, pleaseread our blog >
