processed food means food which has undergone any treatment resulting in a substantial change in the original state of the food.

Editorial note:

This definition of ‘processed food’ is used to determine some additive permissions.

Processes such as dividing, parting, severing, boning, mincing, skinning, paring, peeling, grinding, cutting, cleaning, trimming, deep-freezing or freezing, milling or husking, packing or unpacking are not considered to result in a substantial change to the original state of the food.
