Accompanying Notes


Advises on the reduction of odours from fish meal plants that are generated from the fish, the fish offal and the process itself. The advice is in the context of good housekeeping practices, factory management and maintenance, rather than detailed consideration of special odour reduction equipment. Recommendations for good practice cover scheduled delivery of raw material, handling and storage of both raw material and product at the factory, processing stages, factory and equipment design, management, maintenance, and complaints. Read in conjunction with Note 49.
