They are less likely to get parasites from beef heart than from feeders, here in the USA heart that is sold for human consumption is inspected, Heart worms are a pretty obvious infestation. Tapeworms infest the guts, not the heart.

That looks nasty

Yeah that would be pretty obvious. I haven't had any problems with beefheart. Like guppy said, if its for human consumption it has to be inspected.

I concur with guppy
