This Standard applies to live bivalve molluscs and to raw bivalve molluscs that have been shucked and/or frozen, and/or processed to reduce or limit target organisms while essentially retaining the sensory characteristics of live bivalve molluscs. Raw bivalve molluscs are marketed either in a frozen or chilled state. Both live and raw bivalve molluscs may be intended for direct consumption or further processing. The Standard does not apply to scallops when the final product is the adductor muscle only. Part I below applies to live bivalve molluscs while Part II applies to raw bivalve molluscs.
