Fish Meal appears on the labels of 20 of the 244 recipes we have read and scored (8 percent of the database), in label forms including Fish Meal, fish meal.
Meal rendered from fish without the species named on the panel.

The unnamed form is the transparency problem: a buyer cannot tell which fish, so the recipe cannot serve a fish related elimination trial. Our classifier counts it as an unnamed animal ingredient.
