Hi all,

 

I wasn't able to find a topic, related to my question (unless I need to improve my searching skills), so here it is:

 

Does anyone know the definition of raw food and what is the maximum cooking/drying temperature allowed?

 

We are drying and smoking our product to preserve it and prolong shelf life (completely raw/wet seaweed have very short shelf-life), so it is crucial step for us. However, we are thinking about "raw" claim and was looking for some information. 

 

Thank you!

Inga

I presume it's a cold smoking process?

As far as I understand it, raw foods are usually unprocessed except for things like food grade wax applications and chlorine washes. The smoking/drying step is definitely a processing step (as it alters the fundamental attributes of the food), and I don't think it would qualify for a 'raw' claim.

Raw = non-RTE but with obvious exceptions
