Edible fish meal

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to edible, food-grade fish meal produced by stabilizing, drying, and comminuting edible fish material into a meal or powder for human-food use. It covers products supplied in bulk or consumer/food-manufacturing packaging, with the preservation route and product condition declared.

It excludes non-edible fish meal intended only for feed, fertilizer, or industrial use; whole or portioned dried or smoked fish that is not comminuted into meal; prepared meals in which fish meal is only an ingredient; isolated fish oils or protein isolates; and non-fish meals. Species, wild-caught or farmed origin, raw-material form, additives, salt or smoke treatment, target moisture, packaging, and food-safety status are required qualifiers because they can materially change the inventory and product function.

The default reporting boundary is cradle-to-factory-gate. Foreground collection begins when edible fish raw material and other purchased inputs are received at the fish-meal facility. Fishing or aquaculture, landing, and production of purchased energy, water, ice, ingredients, and packaging are represented by linked upstream datasets rather than being recreated inside the foreground system.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value

recursive_input_rule	If an input is already edible fish meal within this category, record it as a purchased product input with its upstream dataset and amount; do not recursively reproduce its manufacture in the same foreground package.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Link representative upstream datasets for fish raw material, transport to the facility, energy carriers, water/ice, ingredients, packaging, treatment services, and other purchased inputs.

boundary_food_safety_rule	Food-grade processing	Include process steps and monitoring needed to control biological, chemical, and physical hazards for the declared fish material and preservation route; rejected material and sanitation flows cross the foreground boundary.	codex-cxc-52-2003
boundary_cutoff_rule	Inventory completeness	A flow may be omitted only when its absence is justified and disclosed as immaterial to mass, energy, environmental significance, and compliance; hazardous releases, refrigerants, food-safety rejects, and allocation-relevant co-products shall not be omitted solely because their mass is small.	eu-pef-2021-2279; codex-cxc-52-2003
