Core term (Level of detail)

A standard food term, suitable as a base term in a FoodEx2 code. ↩

Facets (Type of Term)

Not a food, but a category of characteristics you can add to a food term — for example how it was processed, how it was packaged, or what it was made from. ↩

Implicit facet descriptors *

No 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. ↩
