Implicit facet descriptors *

Descriptors marked are not part of "Zoonoses hierarchy" and open in their own default hierarchy.

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, "Humectant".

Humectant has no narrower terms in Zoonoses hierarchy.
