1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR governs foreground data packages for the manufacture of finished soups, broths, bouillons, consommés, and preparations intended to yield soup or broth. It covers products sold ready to consume, chilled, frozen, condensed or concentrated as liquids, semi-liquids, or pastes, and dehydrated as powders, granules, tablets, cubes, or comparable forms. Products may contain meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, pulses, cereals, fats, seasonings, extracts, hydrolysates, or other recipe ingredients.

The category boundary follows the complete semantic scope of CPC 3.0 subclass 23992. Codex CXS 117-1981 provides authoritative detail for bouillons and consommés and their ready-to-eat, condensed, concentrated, frozen, and dehydrated forms, but it is not used to narrow the wider CPC category to clear bouillons only. Soups containing particulates or purées remain covered when marketed primarily as soup or broth.

Excluded are infant-use or homogenized composite preparations classified separately, sauces and mixed condiments, prepared dishes whose primary identity is not soup or broth, separately marketed meat or vegetable extracts, and ingredients that are not sold as a soup, broth, or preparation thereof. Retail, food-service, or household cooking from independently marketed ingredients is outside the manufacturing foreground unless the declared product itself is a soup preparation and the study explicitly includes its use stage.

This PCR produces a factory-gate manufacturing dataset. Upstream production of ingredients, packaging, fuels, electricity, water supply, and treatment services is represented by linked upstream datasets. Distribution, retail, consumer preparation, consumption, and end-of-life are outside the foreground dataset and may be added in a downstream lifecycle model.

2. Product Category Identity

Field	Value
canonical_pcr_id	pcr.food-products-beverages-and-tobacco-textiles-apparel-and-leather-products.grain-mill-products-starches-and-starch-products-other-food-products.soups-and-broths-and-preparations-thereof
classification_refs	CPC 3.0: 23992, Soups and broths and preparations thereof (exact)
covered_products	Finished soups and broths and preparations thereof in ready-to-consume, chilled, frozen, condensed, concentrated, liquid, semi-liquid, paste, dried, powdered, granulated, tablet, cube, or comparable market forms
excluded_products	Infant-use or homogenized composite preparations; sauces and mixed condiments; prepared dishes not primarily identified as soup or broth; separately marketed extracts; ingredients not sold as a soup, broth, or preparation thereof
representative_product	A packaged factory-gate soup or broth product in the declared as-sold market form; the category flow is representative only at CPC 23992 level and does not imply a particular recipe, concentration, preservation route, or package
production_route	Receipt and preparation of ingredients; formulation, extraction, cooking, or blending; route-specific concentration, dehydration, thermal treatment, chilling, or freezing; filling, sealing, and packaging; cleaning, utilities, and residue management
market_state	Finished product at factory gate in its declared as-sold physical form, concentration, preservation condition, and package configuration

3. Reference Flow

Field	Value
What	Manufacture and provision at the factory gate of a soup, broth, or preparation thereof in its declared as-sold form
How much	1 kg net mass of conforming finished product, excluding packaging mass
How well	Meeting the declared recipe or formulation, concentration or reconstitution instructions, physical form, preservation condition, quality specification, and applicable food requirements
How long or cycle	One completed production and packaging cycle; declared shelf life is metadata and is modelled downstream when storage losses or packaging-dependent shelf life are in scope
reference_flow_link	The reference product output of `filling_and_packaging`, normalized to 1 kg net conforming product at factory gate

Field	Value
Reference amount	1 kg net finished product as sold
Reference product flow	Soups and broths and preparations thereof `6cd389be-4748-4401-96a4-ecdc07c041a3`
Reference flow property	Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66`
Reference unit group	Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66`
Reference unit	kg
Required qualifiers	product identity or recipe family; liquid, concentrated, frozen, dehydrated, cube, powder, or other market form; net mass; solids or moisture basis where relevant; concentration factor or preparation/reconstitution instructions where relevant; principal ingredient basis; preservation route; storage condition; package format and packaging mass; geography; technology; production period

The category-level reference flow covers the full CPC 23992 identity but is not a silent substitute for a more specific real product flow. When a reviewed public Tiangong product flow more precisely matches the actual soup or broth form and product identity, use that flow instead, retain the CPC 23992 classification context, and preserve the same mass property and unit basis unless the specific flow requires a reviewed alternative. The actual product qualifiers remain mandatory in either case.

When constructing a foreground data package, the items listed in Required qualifiers must be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, reference flow comment, product description, or an equivalent data package field. Missing required qualifiers make the reference flow definition incomplete for that data package. Comparisons between ready-to-consume and concentrated or dehydrated products must additionally report the mass or servings of prepared product obtained according to the declared instructions; 1 kg as sold alone is not a functionally equivalent comparison basis across those forms.

System boundary rules · 6

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`system_boundary_rule_1`	foreground_system_boundary	The foreground starts when recipe ingredients, water, packaging, energy carriers, and other supplies are received at the manufacturing site. It ends when the conforming, filled, sealed, and packaged product is ready to leave the factory gate. Include direct site operations, product and material losses, cleaning and sanitation, shared utilities, on-site wastewater or residue treatment, and direct emissions attributable to the product.
`boundary_factory_gate`	foreground manufacturing	Include ingredient receipt and preparation, formulation or cooking, route-specific stabilization, filling and packaging, cleaning, utilities, direct emissions, product losses, and on-site waste or wastewater handling through the factory gate.	eu-jrc-fdm-bref-2019, eu-pef-2021-2279
`boundary_upstream_links`	purchased inputs and services	Represent production of purchased ingredients, packaging, energy, water, and off-site treatment through linked upstream datasets rather than silently excluding those burdens.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`boundary_route_conditionals`	concentration, dehydration, chilling, freezing, thermal preservation, or aseptic processing	Include every operation actually used for the declared market form and preservation route and mark non-applicable route processes explicitly.	fao-who-cxs-117-1981, eu-jrc-fdm-bref-2019
`boundary_downstream_separation`	distribution, retail, use, and end-of-life	Exclude downstream stages from this factory-gate dataset; add them only in a clearly identified lifecycle model, including reconstitution energy and water, storage losses, and packaging end-of-life when relevant.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`boundary_no_unreported_cutoff`	all foreground flows	Record all known material, water, energy, product, co-product, waste, and direct elementary flows. Any omitted flow requires a quantified materiality justification and disclosure; no category-wide default cut-off is granted.	eu-pef-2021-2279

Allocation rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_avoid_first`	multifunctional processes and shared lines	Avoid allocation where practicable by process subdivision, separate meters, batch records, or system expansion. Keep soup or broth production physically distinguishable from other products.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_causal_physical`	shared utilities, cleaning, storage, and treatment	When subdivision is not practicable, allocate using a documented causal physical driver such as equipment operating time, metered demand, cleanable surface and cycle count, wastewater load, or product mass only when mass is demonstrably causal.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_coproducts`	recovered food material, feed material, extracts, biogas, heat, or other co-products	Record gross co-product quantities first. Apply a relevant, quantifiable physical relationship when it represents causality; use economic allocation only when subdivision, system expansion, and a defensible physical relationship are not feasible.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_economic_disclosure`	economic allocation	If economic allocation is used, disclose the market, price basis, currency, averaging period, co-product condition and point of sale, factors, and sensitivity to price variation.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_waste_no_credit`	wastes sent to recycling, energy recovery, feed use, treatment, or disposal	Do not silently subtract an avoided burden. Record the physical waste output and treatment or recovery route; any substitution or recycling credit belongs to an explicitly documented expanded-system or lifecycle-model method.	eu-pef-2021-2279

Validation rules · 9

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`validate_identity_scope`	product identity	Confirm that the output is marketed primarily as a soup, broth, bouillon, consommé, or preparation thereof and that all required qualifiers are present. Reject silent use for sauces, non-soup prepared meals, infant preparations, or separately marketed extracts.	unsd-cpc-3-0-explanatory-notes-2025, fao-who-cxs-117-1981
`validate_reference_uuid`	reference flow	Confirm the selected category flow UUID, Mass property UUID, Units of mass UUID, and kg unit, or document a reviewed replacement by a more product-specific real Tiangong flow.
`validate_reference_amount`	quantitative reference	Confirm that output equals exactly 1 kg net conforming product after normalization and that packaging mass is excluded from the reference amount.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`validate_route_coverage`	process map	Confirm that every operation actually used for formulation, cooking or extraction, concentration or dehydration, preservation, chilling or freezing, filling, post-fill treatment, cleaning, utilities, and residue management is included or explicitly marked not applicable.	fao-who-cxs-117-1981, eu-jrc-fdm-bref-2019
`validate_reconstitution`	concentrated and dehydrated products	Require declared preparation instructions and verify the prepared-product conversion; prohibit comparison with ready-to-consume products on 1 kg as-sold mass alone.	fao-who-cxs-117-1981, eu-pef-2021-2279
`validate_balances`	material, water, and energy data	Verify process and period balances, investigate closure outside documented measurement uncertainty, and prevent double counting of recycled water, recovered product, rework, shared utilities, waste transfers, and treatment inputs.	eu-jrc-fdm-bref-2019
`validate_allocation`	shared processes and co-products	Verify that subdivision was attempted first, physical allocation uses a causal relationship, and any economic allocation or substitution is fully justified and sensitivity-tested.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`validate_data_quality`	foreground package	Verify temporal alignment, geographic and technological representativeness, completeness, precision, source traceability, calibration evidence, proxy disclosure, and documented uncertainty.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`validate_atomic_inventory`	inventory flow identity	Fail if electricity, steam, hot water, each fuel, refrigerant, cleaning chemical, packaging material, packaging waste, or direct combustion or refrigerant emission covered by this PCR is represented by a combined carrier or material placeholder instead of a separately identifiable flow row.	eu-jrc-fdm-bref-2019, eu-pef-2021-2279
