The Wildlife Traffic Safety Act, also known as the 'roadkill bill,' was signed into law in California this month. Part of the bill allows people to collect the meat of animals that they have accidentally killed from vehicle collision.
Food writer Corby Kummer joined Boston Public Radio *on Thursday to speak about the bill.
"It all sounds like it's a very good idea not to waste this meat if you tragically kill this animal," Kummer said. "But it's not so good if you can't certify food safety, it's really eat at your own risk."
*Kummer is a *senior editor at The Atlantic*, an award-winning food writer, and a senior lecturer at the Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition and Policy.
