Best Answer
It is safe to eat and will not poison/kill your colonists
This question struck me during my last toxic storm but all the animals died before I could test it.
I recreated the toxic storm with the help of the debugger, built a small shelter for my colonists and destroyed all the current food. Once the first animal, a boar, died, I ended the storm and began the cooking process. I've linked the images of the process below.
I was expecting some stat on the meat or the meal to indicate a potential toxins but there where none. After the colonist/test subject ate the meal he had no negative side effect. I'll be running a test for 2 days in game to see if anything develops. If it does I will post it here but I am doubtful.
Toxic Food - Sorry for the double screens, my comp is acting up and I can't be asked to wait 3 hours in paint.
