Wild game guide: a guide to food hygiene legislation
Wednesday 1 October 2008
The guide is for people who shoot wild game and supply it either in-fur or in-feather or as small quantities of wild game meat. It gives information on hygiene regulations and ways to make sure meat is safe to eat.
The Agency produced the guide in partnership with the Meat Hygiene Policy Forum Working Group and the Wild Game Group, which is made up of stakeholders from the wild game meat industry.
The guide and its annexes cover food safety advice, commonly asked questions, approved game handling establishments and relevant training options. There is an easy to follow flowchart on page four of the main guide, giving a brief summary of the effect of the new hygiene regulations.
Further information
For information on the supply of wild game to game handling establishments see Part 2, Section 10 of the Guide to Food Hygiene and Other Regulations for the Meat Industry.
