European Catalogue for Teaching Food, Meat and Dairy Hygiene

With this Catalogue the following main objectives are pursued: o Listing of the basic Food Hygiene teaching content, within the Veterinary Public Health Curriculum, in European Veterinary educational institutions to allow veterinary graduates to perform safely food hygiene activities consistently throughout Europe and therefore facilitate mobility of veterinarians across European countries. o Provision of support for the definition of Learning Outcomes of Food Hygiene courses to achieve Day One Competence and beyond. Some of the content of the Food Hygiene Catalogue requires underpinning knowledge and understanding of important related subjects such as anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, parasitology, pathology, pharmacology, toxicology, clinical subjects, etc. Furthermore, the Catalogue does not contain any indication regarding the length of time or the teaching methods to be used, nor the correlation of lectures, practical courses or seminars for delivering the learning outcomes of the Food Hygiene courses. Moreover, it is not intended to indicate the chronology by which the content is taught.
