My sister in law wants to send us a package of homeade goods. She is adamit about sending us deer jerky ( we dont eat deer, but we aren't going to hurt her feelings). She says its vacuum sealed and should last a few days... but I didn't think you can send perishables without the proper packaging??? Anyone know... not just guesses!!!!

You have asked a very complicated question.
The rule is contained in Pub 52 under 55 Meats and Meat Products
Meats and meat products are mailable in domestic mail only when they conform to regulations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Packaging must be strong and securely sealed as required in DMM 601.1-601.8.
If dry ice is used to cool meat or meat products during transport, the dry ice is subject to the mailing conditions in 349 and DMM 601.10.20.4.
As a Postmaster, I say no unless a customer wants to prove it is allowed and meets all the requirements.

Vacuum sealed cured meat can last up to a year.
I make my own jerky. I use several types of meat.
You probably won't know deer from bear...
Turkey from chicken or beef. Give it a try.
I'm sure the post office doesn't care,
one way or another. I ship regular mail a lot.

Jerky is dried and will keep a long time especially when it's vacuum packed. Do try the jerky. It is wonderful!! She made one mistake in telling you it was made with deer. You probably would have thought it was beef jerky. It makes a delicious, healthy snack.

very much relies upon on how the beef is butchered and cooked, of direction, yet lots additionally relies upon on the animal's nutrition recurring. Midwestern whitetail can style like good lean crimson meat whilst western mule deer have a observe of sage brush that i've got on no account gotten used to. I do like elk if it relatively is arranged wisely much extra useful than whitetail. there are multiple eating places around the country specializing in wild sport, so so you might have the means to rearrange a tasting for your self faster or later with out having to seek the beef your self.

Well, I have before. I don't know that it's policy, but I've done it successfully several times. Anyway, the USPS has a great website: http://www.usps.com
If you eat meat, give the deer a try. It's pretty good. And if you really don't want it, you can suggest she donate to Hunters for the Hungry or Farmers and Hunters Helping the Hungry. http://www.fhfh.org/cgi-bin/index.asp

I hope you give it away if you don't eat it. Deer jerky is great, have you ever tried it?
She can send it through Priority Mail so that it gets to you within 2-3 days.

She would probably have to go through UPS where dry ice can be added to the package to keep the items frozen during shipment. She might want to call he local UPS office and check all this out. Here is the link to UPS.
