Frozen Atlantic cod mince is a ground fish raw material intended for further processing. The product is in the form of an irregular 10 kg block and can be used as a component in pet food production.
Atlantic cod mince is made from meat obtained from trimmings, fins and fish backbones. The meat is mechanically separated from bones and remaining skin. The product is packed and frozen on the day of production.
The raw material is Atlantic cod Gadus morhua sourced from FAO 27 and FAO 21 fishing areas. The mince has a light grey colour and an evenly ground structure. After thawing, it retains a consistency suitable for forming.
The product has a uniform structure suitable for mixing and forming. The frozen block format facilitates storage and dosing of the raw material in production plants.
Atlantic cod mince in a 10 kg block can be used as a fish component in the pet food industry. Its ground consistency makes it easier to combine the raw material with the other ingredients in the recipe. The product may be subjected to thawing, dosing, mixing, forming and heat treatment. The final application should be matched to the recipient's recipe and technological process.
The product is in the form of an irregular frozen block. It is made from Atlantic cod meat mechanically separated during the processing of trimmings, fins and fish backbones.
The raw material, production process and finished product are controlled in accordance with the procedures and instructions of the HACCP plan. The quality department monitors temperature, weight and product appearance. Tunnel freezing takes place on the day of production.
During storage, transport and delivery, a temperature not higher than -18°C must be maintained. The permissible short-term temperature, for a maximum of 3 hours, is -15°C. The product must not thaw before delivery. Once thawed, it must not be refrozen. The product requires heat treatment.
Frozen Atlantic cod mince is intended for pet food manufacturers and plants using ground fish raw materials for further processing.
