Major UK poultry producers join new training scheme

Several UK poultry companies are now a part of the new Poultry Meat Training Initiative, which aims to standardise training across the sector.

Over 2,500 Poultry Passports being issued to employees, with Vion UK, Cargill Meats Europe, Cranberry Foods, Faccenda, and PD Hook/2sisters having signed up to the scheme, which is designed to standardise training carried out across the poultry meat sector with each job role linked to a set of minimum training requirements.

The Poultry Passports are linked to an online database holding employees' training records managed by its administrator, Poultec Training.

The initiative is a collaborative project between the British Poultry Council, National Farmers Union, Lantra and Poultec.
