想減肥，下次買東西前先看懂食品標簽2

　　Light (or lite) is also evaluated with respect to a reference food, and a rather complicated set ofconditions is taken into account for different substances. For example, if a “light” product hasmore than half of its calories from fat, the fat must be reduced by half per reference servingamount. If less than half its calories come from fat, it can be “light” if the calories per serving arereduced 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.

　　Light通常也是被用來評定參考食物的，這是一種非常復雜的組合用來說明不同的成分。例如，如果一種“Light”食物的脂肪中一半以上的卡路里來自脂肪，其單份參考規(guī)格中的脂肪就必須減半。如果不到一半的卡路里來自脂肪，那么單份參考規(guī)格中的卡路里就要減少1/3。有些食品達到"low"的標準也能貼上"light"的標簽。鹽分偏少的食物中，其鹽分含量必須偏低至少50%。

　　6. HIGH

　　Our food labels don’t only brag about low levels of the bad stuff, but also about high levels of thegood stuff. “High” (or “rich in”) means that the food has 20 percent or more of the recommendeddaily value for that nutrient per reference serving.

　　我們的食品標簽不僅標榜食品中成分的“低含量”，也要宣傳高含量的好東西。高含量(豐富)就意味著食物中含有日常建議一餐所需營養(yǎng)價值的20%或者更多。

　　7. GOOD SOURCE

　　“Good source of” is a little lower than “high.” A food with this label should have 10 to 19 percentof the recommended daily value.

　　“Good source of“比”high“含量低一點。帶有這一標簽的食物應該擁有日常建議所需營養(yǎng)價值的10%到19%。

　　8. MORE

　　Below “good source” is “more,” “fortified,” “enriched,” “added,” “extra,” or “plus.” A food with 10percent of the recommended daily value can use one of these, but it only applies for vitamins,minerals, protein, fiber, and potassium.

　　在“大量的(good source)”標準之下的是“更多的(more),” “增強的(fortified),” “豐富的(enriched),” “有添加的(added),” “剩余的 (extra),”和“少量的(plus).”食物中擁有10%的日常所需營養(yǎng)就可以使用以上的這些詞中的一個，但是他只能應用在維他命，礦物質(zhì)，蛋白質(zhì)，纖維和鉀這些方面。

　　9. LEAN

　　“Lean” applies to seafoods or meats that have less than combined specified levels of fat, saturatedfat, and cholesterol (10g, 4.5g, and 95mg, respectively).

　　"lean"被用于海產(chǎn)品和肉類上，這些食物擁有比脂肪，含飽和脂肪酸的脂肪和膽固醇組合而成的特殊等級還要低(他們的含量分別是10克，4.5克，95毫克)。

　　10. HEALTHY

　　To qualify as “healthy,” a product must meet the “low” standard for fat and saturated fat, anotherstandard for sodium and cholesterol, and it must have at least 10 percent of the recommendeddaily value for a range of nutrients.

　　達到”健康“標準，該產(chǎn)品必須滿足低脂和含低飽和脂肪酸的脂肪的雙重標準，還有另一個鈉和膽固醇的標準。它必須擁有至少日常建議所需所有營養(yǎng)價值的10%。

　　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 anofficial definition. Though it hasn’t issued rules for the use of “natural,” it endorses the generalunderstanding that it implies nothing artificial orsynthetic has been added that would not normallybe expected to be added.

　　對“天然”的界定經(jīng)過數(shù)年的征求意見和評論后，一直也沒有達成一致的共識，美國食品藥物管理局決定放棄長久以來官方給出的定義。雖然沒有發(fā)布對“天然”用途的規(guī)定，但是管理局贊成普遍的理解，“天然”就是沒有經(jīng)過人工的或是合成的，不會是人們通常被期望的那樣添加。
