Classification

Food ID: 04.053

Scientific name: Mytilus edulis Linnaeus, 1758

FoodEx2: Blue mussel (A0FCY)

LanguaL

The foods in Matvaretabellen are described using a classification system called LanguaL. LanguaL stands for "Langua aLimentaria" or "language of food". This language enables standardized descriptions of foods.

LanguaLClassification
A0267Seafood or seafood product (US CFR)
A0802Fish or related organism (EUROFIR)
B2875Blue mussel
C0173Whole animal or most parts used
E0150Whole, natural shape
F0003Not heat-treated
G0003Cooking method not applicable
H0003No treatment applied
J0142Preserved by chilling or freezing
K0003No packing medium used

10

Missing value, content not known.

20

Estimated value.

50

Estimated as a naturally occurring zero value, not analysed.

60c

Estimated value. Due to value falling in between the limit of detection and the limit of quantification, the value is estimated to be half of the limit of quantification.
