Successful Wildfleischer Michael Reiss at the Green Week in Berlin - raccoon meat in Saxony -Anhalt increasingly popular!
according to a report by www.berliner-kurier.de
The green week in Berlin was a great success for Wildfleischer Michael Reiss, because for the first time he presented his unusual idea of processing raccoons into sausage and meatbets. There are now over 1.3 million raccoons in Germany, and the animals also multiply rapidly in Berlin, which in particular presents homeowners with challenges. For many, the animals are a nuisance because they cause damage while others find them sweet and cute. Reiss received the EU approval for the processing of the game and now has customers from Berlin and Leipzig who go to Saxony-Anhalt to try the meat.
According to hunters, the raccoons do enormous damage in nature, and conservationists are also shared whether the animals should be hunted. In the hunting year 2022/23, around 30,000 raccoons were killed in Brandenburg alone, but the existence still extends dramatically. However, the raccoon meat is not particularly profitable due to the high costs of investigations and meat inspection in processing - but Reiss is successful. The meat guild in Berlin is skeptical whether the processing of raccoon meat will develop into a trend. Interested parties can try the raccoon meat in the Wildererhütte by Michael Reiss in Kade.
This unusual meat offer should be interesting for Berliners, especially in view of the rapidly growing raccoon population in the city and the associated problems.
