Classification

Food ID: 04.389

Scientific name: Mytilus edulis Linnaeus, 1758

The foods in the Food Composition Table are described using two classification systems.

FoodEx2 is a classification and standardization system for foods and feed developed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The system consists of a main code that describes the type of food. In addition, there are facets that provide more detailed information about the food, for example about ingredients, packaging, or method of preparation.

LanguaL is a similar system. LanguaL stands for “Langua aLimentaria”, or “language of food”. It also consists of a description of the type of food, and facets with additional information.

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.
