Free of flesh shell - further trials

Summary

The findings of previous work to define free of flesh shell showed that whilst many shellfish types could be effectively cleaned some species were both hard to clean and difficult to assess their 'free of flesh' status due to high residual test levels of flesh test parameters within shells. This follow on project builds on the previous work, to help find a way forward in developing an alternative testing protocol based upon the use of a leach methodology and to explore options for a combination cleaning process which can produce FOF shell for difficult to clean shell types such as crab.
