Safe Moose Meat Temperatures: Cooking for Parasite Safety

Moose meat should not be eaten medium-rare. Moose is a wild game animal and can carry parasites, such as tapeworms and roundworms, that can be harmful if consumed. To ensure that these parasites are killed, moose meat should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This can be done by cooking the meat over a campfire, in an oven, or on a grill.

When cooking moose meat, it is important to keep the meat moist to prevent it from becoming dry and tough. This can be done by marinating the meat before cooking or by adding liquid to the cooking vessel.
