Live animal of the taxonomic genus Meretrix spp., within the Family Veneridae. The organisms are commonly known as Hard clams or Hard clams nei or Hard clam. The part considered is by default the whole living organism.

Core term (Level of detail)

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

Natural sources (Type of Term)

The living organism a food ultimately comes from — a plant, animal or similar. It describes origin (where a food starts in the food chain) rather than being a food you would eat. ↩

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, "Hard clams (generic) (as animal)".
