Contestant Information and Instructions
SELLING BARBEQUE
Meat for selling may be brought to the contest pre-cooked (see below). Contest meat must start raw and will be inspected on Friday.
MEAT INSPECTION AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS
All meats cooked at the contest must be USDA-approved meat or have been purchased from a USDA-inspected source. Cookers must be able to show proof of this.
Meat inspections will be scheduled at check in; the contest representative will certify that the meat begins raw. Meat for selling does not need to begin raw, you may bring pre-cooked or pre-marinated meats. However, pre-cooked foods MUST have been prepared in a compliant commissary or inspected commercial kitchen. Cookers must be able to show proof of this. Sign up at the Registration booth for meat inspection when your booth is completely set up.
