Scope and Applicability This PCR covers factory-gate production of market-ready pig meat cuts preserved by salting, drying, or smoking, including bacon and ham. The foreground boundary begins when chilled or frozen pig meat cuts are received and ends after packaging and declared refrigerated storage. It covers trimming; exactly one declared curing method (`dry_cure`, `brine_injection`, or `brine_immersion`); route-dependent tumbling, cooking, smoking, drying or ripening, and slicing; cooling or chilling; packaging; refrigeration; sanitation; and on-site wastewater treatment when present. The PCR excludes pig rearing, slaughter and primary carcass cutting before receipt; sausages, comminuted meat, complete meals, canned meat, and products preserved by methods outside the CPC 21181 boundary; distribution beyond the factory gate; retail, consumer cooking, and end-of-life. A cooked-ham route is included only when the product remains a salted, dried, or smoked pig cut within this category. Every data package shall declare one real production route; mutually exclusive curing routes and optional preservation operations shall not be stacked into a synthetic default route. ## 2.
