Agriculture
French term or phrase: eaux grasses
Forbidden feed for animals :

elle ne doit pas contenir de produits issus d’huile de friture, ***d’eaux grasses*** et de farines animales.

No idea how to say this... According to the Granddictionnaire, this is "Nom donné aux déchets alimentaires variés qui proviennent des cuisines des collectivités et sont utilisées dans l'alimentation des porcs" but alas, no English translation is given!

disagree  Tony M: Not really quite the same thing, even in the ref. you cite — which in any case is a highly dubious translation, hardly to be relied upon

neutral  Tony M: But that clearly doesn't fit with Fiona's context, and do note that the FR term is a set expression that doesn't JUST mean 'greasy water'.

neutral  cmwilliams: according to this site, it means "déchets alimenaires", not water. http://www.environnement.ccip.fr/dechets/fiches/dechets-alim...
