Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the health benefits of eating wild game meat.

No assessment on the health benefits of game meat has been made. Current advice on red and processed meat is for high consumers to reduce their intake to the population average intake equivalent to 70 grams a day. This is based on a review by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition in 2010, available at the following link:
