2、ations on what, where, and how prominently information should be placed on packaging. the idea is that consumers should not be misled by what they read on the groceries they buy. however, the labels should also be written in plain, understandable language. this means that sometimes regular english w

3、ordswords that have commonsense but slightly fuzzy meaningsmust be defined more precisely for food labeling. here are 11 words that mean something more specific on the supermarket shelves. 1. imitation a food that looks like another food but isnt made of the same stuff is an imitation, right? not qu

4、ite. it only has to be labeled as imitation if it has a lower amount of protein or some other essential nutrient than the food its trying to look like. 2. free if its free of fat, or sugar, or salt, it doesnt mean that not one trace of those things is to be found in it. the fda evaluates certain ter

5、ms with reference to a typical portion size known as an racc (reference amounts customarily consumed per eating occasion). an racc of eggnog, for example, is cup. for croutons, its 7 grams, and for scrambled eggs, 100 grams. to be labeled free of calories, the food must have less than 5 per racc. fo

6、r fat and sugar, less than .5 grams. for sodium, less than 5 milligrams. also, the food must somehow be processed to be free of those things in order to get the simple free label. you cant have fat free lettuce, only lettuce, a fat free food. 3. low low is also defined with respect to set portion si

7、zes and varies with whether it refers to calories, fat, or sodium. for fat its less than 3 grams. for calories, its less than 40, unless its a prepared meal, in which case its 120 per 100 grams. saturated fat and cholesterol have specific low values as well. 4. reduced/less sometimes manufacturers w

8、ant to make a relational claim about a foodnot just that its low in some substance, but lower than it usually is (which may mean it doesnt meet the standard for low at all). relational claims are evaluated with respect to a reference food. a reference food should be the same type of food (chocolate

9、ice cream compared to other chocolate ice cream) though the numbers against which the reduced claims are compared can be an average of the top three brands. the reduced substance must be less than 25 percent of what it is in the reference food. 5. light light (or lite) is also evaluated with respect

10、 to a reference food, and a rather complicated set of conditions is taken into account for different substances. for example, if a light product has more than half of its calories from fat, the fat must be reduced by half per reference serving amount. if less than half its calories come from fat, it

11、 can be light if the calories per serving are reduced by 1/3. sometimes foods that meet low requirements can also be labeled as light. lightly salted should have 50 percent less sodium than a reference food. 6. high our food labels dont only brag about low levels of the bad stuff, but also about hig

12、h levels of the good stuff. high (or rich in) means that the food has 20 percent or more of the recommended daily value for that nutrient per reference serving. 7. good source good source of is a little lower than high. a food with this label should have 10 to 19 percent of the recommended daily val

13、ue. 8. more below good source is more, fortified, enriched, added, extra, or plus. a food with 10 percent of the recommended daily value can use one of these, but it only applies for vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, and potassium. 9. lean lean applies to seafoods or meats that have less than comb

14、ined specified levels of fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol (10g, 4.5g, and 95mg, respectively). 10. healthy to qualify as healthy, a product must meet the low standard for fat and saturated fat, another standard for sodium and cholesterol, and it must have at least 10 percent of the recommended da

15、ily value for a range of nutrients. 11. natural after years soliciting suggestions and considering comments on the question of what natural should mean, no useful consensus could be reached, and the fda decided to forgo establishing an official definition. though it hasnt issued rules for the use of

16、 natural, it endorses the general understanding that it implies nothing artificial or synthetic has been added that would not normally be expected to be added. 美国食品药物管理局(fda)的责任之一就是确保食品被正常标注。该局供应对包装上应标示的食品成分，产地及消费过程这些重要信息的管理规定，目的是确保产品上的说明不会误导消费者。 然而，标签应用法简洁且易懂的语言。这就意味着有时正常的英语单词在食品标示中应当更加简洁明了，这些词都是常见

17、的，但是意思略微有些模糊。下面这11个词在超市的货架上就有着特别的意义。 1.imitation 一种食品看上去像另一种食品，但是原料却不一样，那么这就是一个仿造品，是吗?这是不精确的。假如该食品比被仿照的食品的蛋白质或其他一些养分成分低，那么它只能被贴上仿造品的标签。 2.free 食物上脱脂、无糖或者无盐的字样，并不意味着食物中完全没有这些成分。美国食品药物管理局(fda)参照racc(单次食用参考值)这个有代表性的安排比例来评估某些条款。例如，蛋酒的racc数值是半杯。油炸面包丁是7克，炒鸡蛋是100克。只有对应的racc数值小于5，才能被标注为free，即：脂肪和糖分少于5克，钠含量少

18、于5毫克。此外，食品必需经过处理成free的商品，以获得单一的标签。你买不到无脂肪生菜，只能是生菜，无脂肪的食物。 3.low 低含量也是用来定义食品中是卡路里、脂肪和盐分的含量。脂肪要少于3克，卡路里要小于40，才能称为low，假如是一顿总量100克的饭，总卡路里不得超过120。另外，饱和脂肪和胆固醇有特殊低的价值含量。 4.reduced/less 有时制造商想要做一个食品的相关声明，不仅仅是标明某些成分中的低含量，而且比通常同类食品的含量还低(这就意味着它完全没有到达低含量的标准)。一种参照食物应当是一样类型的食品依据数量和降低含量的比值评选出的平均前三名(例如巧克力冰激凌和其他巧克力冰激凌相比)。食物中降低的成分肯定要比参照物的中该成分含量还要小25%。 5.light light通常也是被用来评定参考食物的，这是一种特别冗杂的组合用来说明不同的成分。例如，假如一种light食物的脂肪中一半以上的卡路里来自脂肪，其单份参考规格中的脂肪就必需减半。假如不到一半的卡路里来自脂肪，那么单份参考规格中的卡路里就要削减1/3。有些食品到达low的标准也能贴上light的标签。 盐分偏少的食物中，其盐分含量必需偏低至少50%。 6.hig
