Extended term (Level of detail)

A fine-grained 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
