Positive CWD Test
Tissue from the deer you provided to the Wisconsin DNR for chronic wasting disease (CWD) testing has been found to contain CWD prions. Because your deer has tested CWD positive, consumption of the venison is not advised. Although no association between CWD and any human disease condition has been proven, current World Health Organization guidelines recommend that deer known to be positive for CWD should not be consumed. If you would like assistance with disposing of your venison or other products from this deer, you can call your local DNR office to make the appropriate arrangements. If you have additional questions about CWD, check the DNR website:

CWD Not Detected
Tissue from the deer you provided the Wisconsin DNR for chronic wasting disease (CWD) testing has been examined for prions. There were no prions found and therefore no evidence that the deer is affected with CWD. However, the inability to find CWD prions in the tissue examined is NOT equivalent to pronouncing this deer absolutely free of CWD prions or stating that it is safe to consume. All laboratory tests for CWD only assess the presence or absence of a detectable amount of prions in the specific tissue examined at the time the tissue was collected. A recently infected animal may not test positive because prions have not yet reached a detectable level in the tissue that was tested. CWD testing is clearly of value for disease surveillance to learn where the disease exists, but it has limited value in the context of food safety testing.
