1. Food Security vs Food Safety
首先,英文当中有两个易混淆的词:“food safety”和“food security”。两个词字面上很相似,但表达完全不同的概念。
food security指的是“粮食安全”,是关于所有人是否能得到足够且安全的粮食,以满足生理需求。
而此次的馊水油事件是属于food safety ,食品安全,指的是食品是否受到污染。
ex: Food security has declined dramatically in many developing countries
(粮食安全在开发中国家剧烈下滑)
This accident made me realize the seriousness of the food safety problem.
(此次事件让我了解食品安全的严重性)
2. Tainted Oil(受污染油):
lard oil(猪油)、Gutter oil=drainage oil(地沟油、馊水油)
ex: Gutter oil, also known as drainage oil, is recycled oil collected from various sources.
(地沟油,也就是俗称的搜水油,是一种从不同来源回收而来的油)
3. Tainted Products(受污染产品):
此次有混杂到艘水油的产品包括 meat paste (肉泥)、pork floss(肉松)、moon cake(月饼)
ex: The company immediately pulled 12 tainted pork floss and meat paste products from stores.
(公司立刻把12项受污染的肉松和肉泥下架)
3. Food Safety Authorities (食品安全当局):
黑心厂商将接受以下相关单位的制裁和调查
Criminal Investigation Bureau(刑事警察局)
Public Health Bureau(公共卫生局)
Food and Drug Administration(食品药物管理署)
ex: Criminal Investigation Bureau and Food and Drug Administration have cooperated to investigate this issue.
(刑事警察局和食品药物管理署合作着手调查这次事件)

当你吃到问题产品,你可能会有以下的症状:
upset stomach (胃痛)/nausea(反胃)/vomit (呕吐)/diarrhea (肚泻)/
fever (发烧)/dehydration (脱水)/cancer(癌症)
