Vitamin and mineral supplements A03SK Composite food simple ** Non-specific term *

The group includes any type of supplements based on vitamins and minerals, excluding those claimed for sporting people and the carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions, addressed by a specific group. The part consumed/analysed is by default the whole marketed unit or a homogeneous representative portion.

Non-specific term (Level of detail)

A mid-level grouping — more specific than a broad group but broader than a standard term (e.g. 'Cods, hakes, haddocks'). Used only as a fallback when nothing more specific applies. ↩

A food made by combining ingredients of different natures — a recipe — such as a sauce or a flavoured yogurt. ↩

Implicit facet descriptors *

Facet descriptor

Implicit facet descriptors are characteristics a food already implies, so they are left out of its FoodEx2 code. For example, "smoked salmon" (A02KF) implies the facet descriptor "smoking" (F28.A07JV); because the term itself already conveys it, it is not added to the code. ↩

Narrower terms

These are child terms of the current term, "Vitamin and mineral supplements".
