GSFA Online Food Category 09.2.5

Updated up to the 42^nd Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (2019)

Food Category Details

Smoked, dried, fermented, and/or salted fish and fish products, including mollusks, crustaceans, and echinoderms (09.2.5)

Description:
Smoked fish are usually prepared from fresh deep frozen or frozen fish that are dried directly or after boiling, with or without salting, by exposing the fish to freshly-generated sawdust smoke. Dried fish are prepared by exposing the fish to sunlight or drying directly or after boiling in a special installation; the fish may be salted prior to drying. Salted fish are either rubbed with salt or placed in a salt solution. This manufacturing process is different from that described in food category 09.3 for marinated and pickled fish. Cured fish is prepared by salting and then smoking fish.¹ Examples include: salted anchovies, shrimp, and shad; smoked chub, cuttlefish and octopus; fish ham; dried and salted species of the Gadidae species; smoked or salted fish paste and fish roe; cured and smoked sablefish, shad, and salmon; dried shellfish, dried bonito (katsuobushi), and boiled, dried fish (niboshi).

This page provides information on the food additive provisions that are acceptable for use in foods conforming to the food category.
