Dr Baines managed a major 2-year project to train 7000 retail butchers in HACCP and implement and audit HACCP in their shops prior to the enforcement of butcher shop licensing in November 2000.

The £3.6 Million project was administered by a small team at the Meat & Livestock Commission and represented a World First in terms of scale and the application of HACCP in the retail sector.

• The project materials were approved to the Codex World HACCP Standard.

• The Training Course won the 1999 Food Hygiene Award for the most significant contribution to food safety.

• The project was completed in April 2000, on time, on target and within budget.
