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. ## 2.
