A recent case highlights three key lessons for anyone involved in homekill:
1. You Must Have a Registered Risk Management Programme (RMP) – Operating without one is illegal and carries serious penalties. Compliance isn't optional.
2. Notices of Direction Are Serious – If you're issued a notice, it's a warning. Ignoring it and failing to follow the education provided can lead to prosecution.
3. One Complaint is Enough to Trigger Enforcement – It only takes one report from a concerned member of the public to set an investigation in motion.
If you're involved in homekill or processing meat for others, prevention is still better than cure so it'll pay to ensure you're compliant before enforcement comes knocking.
One phone call to Guardianz can save you from a whole lot of headaches later.
