Groundnuts, shelled

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers shelled groundnuts (peanut kernels) represented by the exact generic CPC 3.0 product category 21421, after commercial shelling and associated cleaning, sizing, sorting, lot-control, and gate preparation. It supports raw or dried kernels sold in bulk or packages and does not itself assert a food grade, moisture class, kernel size, aflatoxin result, intended use, or packaging format.

The PCR excludes groundnuts in shell, seed for planting, roasted or otherwise cooked peanuts, peanut oil, flour, meal, paste, butter, confectionery, and downstream transport, retail, use, or end-of-life. A dataset may claim conformity with Codex CXS 200-1995 only where the declared intended use and product state fall within that standard and its applicable quality requirements are demonstrated. The exact generic Tiangong product flow is retained for every route; route and quality differences are expressed only through required qualifiers.

The foreground boundary begins with accepted in-shell groundnuts at the shelling-facility receiving gate and ends with the net mass of shelled groundnuts ready to leave the facility gate. A producer starting from already shelled kernels shall declare that starting condition and exclude shelling burdens only with an upstream dataset that preserves the omitted shelling route and product state.

product_classification_scope	Exact generic shelled-groundnut product category; quality, intended-use, moisture, grade, aflatoxin-control and packaging differences remain qualifiers.
recursive_input_rule	If shelled groundnuts enter for re-cleaning, regrading, or repacking, record them once as a same-category input with a separate upstream dataset and do not recreate their earlier shelling operations inside this foreground package.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Link representative upstream datasets for in-shell groundnuts, electricity, packaging, transport not already included by suppliers, and treatment of exported wastes or residues. Preserve geography, technology, moisture, and temporal applicability.
disclosure	Declare starting product state, supplier-gate versus delivered-gate convention, shelling technology, moisture and grade, lot-control route, all excluded operations, storage duration, and whether packaging and outbound loading are included.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_avoid_first	Multi-output foreground operations	Avoid allocation by subdividing separately measured operations or by expanding the system only where the substituted function and dataset are explicitly justified. Do not create an avoided-product credit solely from a waste-disposal claim.	eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_shell_route	Groundnut shells	Treat shells as waste when they have no documented product function and model their treatment without co-product allocation. When shells are sold or transferred as a specified co-product, record only that measured portion as product and apply the PEF hierarchy to any shared burdens.	eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_shared_burdens	Shared burdens remaining after subdivision	Use a physical relationship only where it reflects the underlying causal relationship between inputs, outputs and functions; otherwise use economic allocation with contemporaneous, geographically and temporally representative prices. Report the method, factors, price basis and sensitivity.	eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_rejected_material	Rejected kernels and controlled material	Assign no co-product credit to material rejected for the declared use unless a lawful alternative specification, analytical release where required, recipient and function are documented. Product diversion and waste treatment are mutually exclusive for each measured portion.	codex-cxc-22-1979; codex-cxc-55-2004-2025; eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_mass_balance	All lot outputs	Preserve the unallocated physical mass balance separately from burden allocation: input mass equals accepted kernels plus shells, rejected material, dust/fines, samples, inventory change and measured losses on one moisture basis. Allocation shall not alter these physical quantities.	eu-pef-2021-2279
