The new code was issued in 1983.
There's nothing about "mortal sin" in the canons you posted.

You are right. The new code in 1983 did not remove the prior code proclaiming it a mortal sin to knowingly and willingly disobey the church teaching on abstaining from eating meat on Friday. It did however include some new substitutes mentioned in the "binding" canon law 1249 thru 1253. Having not removed the binding law as a mortal sin leaves it in effect doesn't it?

So eating meat during Lent is not a sin?
