[2.0.21] (Most) Biological things do not recycle into spoilage

See the following tooltip for the recycler (I added the rectangle arround the relavent part):

But if you put fish into a recycler, you get fish back:

I've tested with all of the following biolgical things:

And other than nutrients (which gives you spoilage), all of the above recycle to themselves.

In other words, the tooltip is a lie (the only things that give you spoilage are nutrients and spoilage itself).

You missed wood (obviously biological) and agricultural science packs (not prima facie biological, but they spoil into spoilage, so what else can they be?), which both also recycle into themselves.

I suspect that text might be a holdover from some earlier step in development, when it was planned that all biological items, or at least all the ones crafted in the biolab, would recycle into spoilage, before the current paradigm - where if the recycler cannot return the ingredients for an input then it returns the input itself, just in smaller quantities - was decided on.
