Administrative manual - supplier requirements for hunting wild and game estate animals

New Zealand has extensive wilderness areas that support a range of wild animals. Some of these wild animals are defined as pests in terms of the conservation estate, and as pests may be target species for pest control activity using vertebrate toxic agents (poisons). Other wild animals, though not the target of poisoning activity, may forage the same areas where poisons have been laid and so may have ingested poisons. Because wild animals are hunted commercially and processed into food, there needs to be a system in place to ensure contaminated product from these animals does not enter into the food chain.

The New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) is responsible for administering the relevant law and the wild and game estate animal procurement system.
