Your Safety is Important to Us
We have added a metal detector unit to our packaging area.  Your venison sausage packages will be run through this equipment to reduce your risk of any metal or lead in the product. We felt that this step was necessary to provide you with top quality products made from your venison and wild game trim.

• We accept only fresh, or fresh-frozen, boneless, trimmed, and clean wild game.
• We inspect all wild game as it arrives, and again before sausage is made. All game is tagged with your name and the date. If our inspection shows that your venison does not meet our standards, we will contact you.
• We have received awards on the state, national, and international level.  Same care and recipes are used for your venison sausage!
• We only use fresh beef, pork & spices.
• Our equipment is thoroughly washed and sanitized daily, under strict guidelines.
• Our plant is STATE INSPECTED and HACCP Certified.
• We are mandated to follow the sanitation operating procedures as set forth by the State.
• We have a State Inspector on the premises 3-4 times per week.
• Our reputation is built on customer satisfaction.
• Our equipment is designed to produce the highest quality sausage and batches are run continuously. Therefore, it is impossible to keep batches separate. For us to make that claim, it would require that we take apart, wash, and sanitize machines between EACH BATCH. This is not feasible. Therefore your game will be processed and mixed with the game brought in by others.

REQUIREMENTS FOR VENISON PROCESSING:

All wild game must be fresh, boneless, and clean. We reserve the right to refuse any wild game that does not smell fresh or is not cleaned properly. All venison must be transported in clean, clear plastic bags. We will not accept venison which is brought to us in black garbage bags, dirty, or non-food pkg.

The hunter’s registration metal tag or DNR Customer # must be provided to prove game was harvested legally.

A Deposit in the amount of $1-per-pound of trim is required at time of order. Deposits are non-refundable.  (*Please Note: Maplewood accepts cash, debit and credit cards for payment.  We do not accept checks for amounts over $75.)

Maplewood will not accept any venison which is harvested from the Wisconsin CWD eradication or management zones.

Maplewood will not process any venison that is being tested for CWD, until the test is completed --and negative. Please provide documentation, or DNR Customer# for verification.  Maplewood will not accept any venison harvested from a deer farm, unless the meat has been tested for CWD and documentation proves test results are negative.

Venison and CWD:   We provide a custom processing service for your game animals and take the highest precautions in safety and sanitation of our facilities and equipment. We cannot guarantee that any animal brought in for processing does or does not have CWD. That testing may be done by game agency officials or by sportsmen, but cannot be done in this facility. We cannot assume responsibility for animal testing or failure to test for CWD.

Maplewood’s viewpoint on CWD is based upon the position of the Dept. of Agriculture that there is no evidence that CWD is transmittable to humans. These views are also shared by the World Health Organization and the Center of Disease Control.  Although there is no scientific evidence, Maplewood would encourage all hunters to follow the guidelines set by the Dept. of Agriculture on cutting your wild game.

All Orders received without a deposit will be held until the deposit amount is received.
We will call you as soon as your order is completed. We ask that you pick up your order within 3 days.  Customer is responsible for verifying that the telephone/contact information we have listed on his order is correct.

Due to the volume we take in, it is not possible to give an estimated completion date.  Processing times are determined by date received and also by product batching.  We will give you a call as soon as your full order is ready.
