In plain English
This category includes processed products made from meat, fish, or other aquatic animals that are not suitable for people to eat. It also covers the solid remains left after extracting oil from these animal sources. The items are separated into two groups based on their source material. One group consists of products derived from meat or meat by-products, while the other group includes those made from fish, crustaceans, mollusks, or similar sea creatures.
