“The MMH&HACCP course was and still is a bespoke course for retail butchers/Farm Shops, etc., it was specifically put together by the Meat and Livestock Commission (and now the Meat Training Council) for the training in food hygiene and the production and implementation of HACCP for this sector, the Department of Health commissioned it under a Government funded project. The FSA have endorsed it and have funded in the past projects to deliver this course in Wales.

“It is recognised throughout the UK and has been delivered (and still is being delivered) throughout this sector, indeed many Local Authorities have asked for this course to be delivered to their butchers, as it is meat and meat product specific. it is the course of choice.”
