pest infestation Explanation: I would use the term you have already suggested yourself "pest infestation". Alternatively, you could use "varmin infestation" which is more commin in American English though. Reference: http://dict.leo.org/forum/viewWrongentry.php?idThread=193880... |

peer agreement (net): +1pest contamination Explanation: "FDA inspection of the mill last month revealed that the mill operators had failed to provide adequate protection against pest contamination of both the flour and corn processed at the facility. As a result, FDA inspectors found many indications that insects as well as other animals such as cats, dogs and raccoons may have come into direct contact with these food items. Evidence of such pest exposure included animal tracks and feces found in several locations at the mill." http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:GyDpA0PLdAUJ:www.fda.gov... __________________________________ "Food facility inspections are conducted at several different levels. At the most basic, a food facility must make continuous internal, day to day inspections of the quality and condition of raw ingredients, incoming products, products in process, packaging materials and processing methods .... Evidence of rodent, bird or other vertebrate pest contamination on raw incoming product,ingredients, packaging materials, product in process, processing equipment or facilityenvironment .... Evidence of insects, spiders, mites, or other invertebrate pest contamination on rawincoming product, ingredients, packaging materials, product in process, processingequipment or facility environment" http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:NWcV9jNXfrgJ:intranet.pr... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-03-07 10:22:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This is an analysis, right? Listing the "ingredients".. The reason why I would go for "contamination", in a nutshell: If you own a mill and you have cockroaches running around, you have an infestation. If the flour that your are selling contains insect parts, you are dealing with contamination. Proposed translation: "pest contamination: none." |
