   Does Garlic Mean Garlic?大蒜是什么意思?

  Mike looked at the label on the big plastic container. It said Garlic Powder. There was a U with a circle around it after the word Powder. What does this U mean, Mike wondered. Under the word Powder was another word, Seasoning. Under that word was a drawing of a garlic bulb.

  迈克看着大塑料容器上的标签,上面写着蒜粉,粉末周围有一个带圆圈的U字。这个U字是什么意思,迈克想。粉末下面是另一个字,调味。在那个字下面是一个大蒜的画。

  Mike knew that food labels can be tricky. Powder is powder, but Seasoning could mean salt. He looked all around the plastic container for an ingredients label. There wasn't one. In small print under the drawing of the garlic bulb was a phone number: 1-800-632-6900. Call that number if you have comments or questions, the label said.

  迈克知道食品标签会非常棘手,粉是粉,但调味可能是盐。他看了看所有的塑料容器上的成分标签,没有找到。在小字的蒜头画下一个电话号码:1-800-632-6900,这个标签说如果你有意见或问题可以咨询。

  Mike called the number. A woman answered. He asked her what the U inside a circle meant. She said it meant kosher. Kosher food is food that is prepared according to Jewish law.

  迈克打了那个电话。一个女人接了。他问她一个圆里的U是什么意思。她说这意思是犹太。犹太人食品是根据犹太法律准备的。

  Mike asked where the ingredients label was. She said if there is only one ingredient, there is no ingredients label.

  迈克问成分标签在哪里。她说,如果只有一种成分的话,那就没有成分标签。

  "So, there is no salt in this product?" Mike asked.

  “这样的产品没有盐吗?”迈克问。

  "No, sir," she said. "It's 100 percent garlic powder."

  “不,先生,”她说。这是纯大蒜粉。”

  "Why does it say, Product of USA and China?"

  “为什么它会说是美国和中国生产呢?”

  She said that sometimes they get the garlic from China, sometimes they get it from the US.

  她说,有时他们从被中国生产,有时也会被美国生产。
