About edible offal of cattle, fresh, chilled or frozen

cpc code 21151 covers the trade and production of edible offal of cattle, which includes organs and other edible parts of the animal that are not part of the primary meat cuts. This industry plays a vital role in the broader cattle and beef processing sector, helping to maximize the utilization of each animal and reduce waste. Edible offal is an important source of nutrients and is consumed in many cultures around the world, contributing to global food security and the circular economy.

Production process

The production of edible offal typically involves the careful removal and preparation of organs and other parts during the cattle slaughtering and butchering process. This includes steps such as evisceration, trimming, cleaning, and potentially chilling or freezing the offal to preserve its freshness and quality. Specialized equipment and skilled workers are required to handle the offal in a hygienic and efficient manner.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of edible offal under cpc code 21151 include live cattle, which are the primary raw material. Other key inputs include water for cleaning, electricity or fuel for refrigeration, and labor to perform the various processing steps. Specialized equipment such as offal removal tools, chilling/freezing units, and packaging materials are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the various types of edible offal, such as liver, kidneys, heart, tongue, and tripe. These outputs may be sold fresh, chilled, or frozen, and can be further processed or incorporated into other food products. The offal produced under cpc code 21151 may be consumed directly or used as inputs for 21152 Edible offal of other animals, fresh, chilled or frozen, 21153 Meat and edible offal, salted, in brine, dried or smoked, or 21154 Flours, meals and pellets of meat or meat offal, unfit for human consumption.
