FA-18. Processed foods not covered by categories 1 to 17 A0C13 Facet descriptor * Facets **

Descriptor from the classification defined in the food additives legislation (Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008)

Facet descriptor (Level of detail)

A characteristic that defines an essential characteristic of the food: how it was processed, packaged, what it was made from, etcetera. ↩

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. ↩

Narrower terms

These are child terms of the current term, "FA-18. Processed foods not covered by categories 1 to 17".

Sibling terms
