Wild Game Meat Hygiene

Gain your status as a ‘trained hunter’ with our nationally recognised qualification in Wild Game Meat Hygiene.

The law requires anyone who supplies game meat to a game dealer to be a ‘trained hunter’.

Taking our Level 2 qualification will demonstrate to game meat dealers or potential employers that you ensure wild game meat is safe to enter the food chain.

The finer details

You’ll recognise the learning and skills which you’ve developed through hunting small and/or large game.

There are two units to complete, one mandatory and a choice of one of two optional units:

Mandatory Unit:

• Common Processes in Game Meat Hygiene.
• You’ll know the factors to be considered before applying game meat hygiene including legal, health and safety, the environment, products and equipment.

Optional Units:

• Small Game Meat Hygiene
• Large Game Meat Hygiene.
• In both these units you’ll look at signs of abnormality and ill health in small and/or large game and understand hygienic working techniques.

You’ll have theory and practical sessions, with question papers for each unit.

And with our qualification, you can demonstrate you are competent in this area to the satisfaction of the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
