Remarks:
- Unprocessed products can be classified as “raw products”, i.e. they have not undergone processing (i.e. any action that substantially alters the initial product, including heating, smoking, curing, maturing, drying, marinating, extraction, extrusion, or a combination of those processes). Frozen products of animal origin remain unprocessed products.
- “Fresh” (with regard to meat) means meat that has not undergone any preserving process other than chilling, freezing or quick-freezing, including meat that is vacuum-wrapped in a controlled atmosphere.
- “Fresh” (with regard to fishery products) means unprocessed fishery products, whether whole or prepared, including products packaged vacuum or in a modified atmosphere, that have not undergone any treatment to ensure preservation other than chilling.
