The Willit system records origin information and conditions for every batch. Restaurant food safety logging stays in order without manual work.

Hunter identity

Every batch is tied to an identified hunter or hunting club. Game management fee, weapon details and permits are verified at registration.

Kill date and location

The date, game management association and town-level location are recorded per batch. The information travels with the delivery.

Meat inspection and trichinella

Moose, deer and wild boar are meat-inspected according to Finnish Food Authority guidance. Trichinella testing for every wild boar.

Cold chain and HACCP
