VRQs > Level 2 Certificate in Wild Game Meat Hygiene (endorsements: large game, small game)
In line with European Union directive, new legislation comes into effect on 1 January 2006 that will require anyone supplying game meat to a game dealer to be a trained hunter.
The Level 2 Certificate in Wild Game Meat Hygiene has been developed to provide a mechanism by which trained hunter status can be evidenced. This qualification provides a common standard by which trained hunters are assessed therefore demonstrating their competence in this area to the satisfaction of the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
This Level 2 Certificate in Wild Game Meat Hygiene aims to:
- Recognise the learning and skills which have been developed through working as hunters of small and/or large game
- Develop skills which recognise the specific legislative requirements of a trained hunter i.e. knowledge and understanding of hygiene, the potential for disease in game animals and how inappropriate handling of carcases can impact aversely on human health and the measures they should take to minimise risk
