A number of poultry farms in Northern Ireland and Scotland have received praise for the measurements that have been taken to improve standards to comply with food hygiene regulations.
The improvements have been recorded in a report produced by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), the governmental body which is the authority on food safety. The report focuses on those who catch poultry for a living and is a follow up to the rollout of hygiene training courses back in 2008.
Better Understanding from People
This report from the FSA shows that there has been a positive uplift in terms of the number of people understanding why they should practice good hygiene when working with poultry, as well as an increased awareness of what these measures are. More people are using facilities that are provided for hand washing and boot dipping to prevent the spread of germs or infection.
Red Tractor Farm Assurance is one of the ways that retailers and caterers can be sure that the meat that they sell to consumers is safely produced with basic food hygiene standards in place.
Red Tractor Assurance has incorporated several aspects of the 2008 training observations into its poultry standards, meaning that more poultry catchers are now compliant with food hygiene regulations. Red Tractor Assurance has also used the Food Standards Agency’s report to give some pointers on where poultry catchers could potentially improve their standards of hygiene to ensure even better consumer safety and to ensure that food is not contaminated with harmful bacteria.
