Direct marketing is a traditional way of distributing game meat. If direct marketing of small quantities takes place within a radius of 100 km with delivery directly to the consumer or the local trade an official meat inspection is not required. However, a high level of responsibility lies with the hunter, which he can only take, provided he has received a sound education to be refreshed continuously. The risks caused by consumption of game meat are primarily associated with lack of hygiene during processing and with unrecognised zoonotic diseases which can be transferred to humans consuming the meat. Important zoonotic risks in Germany include Trichinellosis, Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC), enterohaemorhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), Hepatitis E and Tularaemia.
