The global analysis of labelling compliance of all the tested game and common meat species (Table 4) suggests the fraudulent exclusion of a great number of game meats, which were replaced by the undeclared addition of poultry and bovine meats. From the five samples that were sold as game meat Alheira, only one game species was identified in one sample, namely red deer. As highlighted in the identification of mammal species ( Amaral et al., 2014), sample 4 was in complete compliance with the labelled bird species.
