食品伙伴网讯 据美国联邦公报消息,6月23日美国农业部农产品市场局发布通报,修订加工葡萄干等级分类标准,删除标准当中“小的(midget)”表述,并删除与之有关的5个参考说明,用“small”代替,解决标准中的双重术语问题。
据悉,本次修订申请由Little People of America组织提出。美国农业部农产品市场局认为,食品企业使用“small”较多,“midget”显得有点冗长繁琐,因此采用“small”。
部分原文报道如下:
The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is revising the United States Standards for Grades of Processed Raisins by removing five references to the term “midget” throughout the standards. These changes will modernize and clarify the standards by removing dual terminology for the same requirement.
