altered Explanation: without the proper context it's hard to tell but it appears to me frodi is the english equivalent for frauds but obviously cannot be used for food. Ciao PC |

Contaminated food Explanation: Just a guess. See dictionary entry: frode f. fraud : e.g. frode alimentare - food adulteration Zanichelli Il Ragazzini, 3rd edition, CD ROM |

misrepresentation Explanation: in this context it seems that the Italian "frodi" means food whose description, denomination, weight, date or labeling does not correspond to its true nature. Francesca |

Smuggled, contraband Explanation: Here's another to confuse you! Hoepli's Grande Dizionario gives: Smuggled, contraband, poached Good luck! Hoepli Grande Dizionario CD 1999 |

food safety Explanation: Ho fatto un giro presso il sito della Canadian Food Inspection Agency (vedi sotto). Mi sono resa conto che non esiste un termine univoco in inglese per rendere frode alimentare. Forse il modo migliore di renderlo e' con il concetto, molto ampio in inglese, di food safety che copre diversi aspetti. Saluti Paola L M Reference: http://www.cfia-acia.agr.ca/english/toce.shtml |
