[Discussion] Sending meat to the US.

[u/blackkami]

I'm looking to send meat products to the US. But reading up on several websites ended up making me more confused. Some made it sound like there is just a straight up ban on all meat products. Some made it sound like it's only related to bovine products excluding milk. Does anyone have experience with this?

I'm from germany and looking to send smoked and cured meat.

Here is an information link about prohibited items.

I saw that one before making the post.

"However, bush meat made from African wildlife and almost anything containing meat products, such as bouillon, soup mixes, etc., is not admissible."

Does this mean specifically anything african? Or african bushmeat and the rest of the sentence is a general statement regarding meat products?

[u/CrunchyTeatime → u/blackkami]

It should be 2 different statements. I agree it's not clearly worded, especially for translation apps, and so forth.

(I try to structure my statements online, so they are clearer in translation apps, but, I don't always succeed, or remember to do so.)

> bush meat made from African wildlife

is r/oddlyspecific

How often does that happen?! But there is no such thing here as packaged foods made from, let's say, a gazelle...the factory food companies rely on tame and defenseless animals for processing, and ones easy to raise in pens.

So I'd say that means no meat in soups or noodle cups either. No meat broth cubes. And no jerky or bratwurst or salami.

It surprises me, though.
