When does “organic” truly mean “organic”?什么时候“有机”真正的意思“有机” ？

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently established new standards for organically grown foods to clarify any confusion.美国农业部（ USDA ）最近设立新的标准，有机肥种植的食物，以澄清任何混淆。 The new rules define how and when products and marketing materials may bear the term “organic” or the new USDA “Organic” seal.新的规则确定如何以及何时的产品和营销材料可能承担的“有机”或新的农业部“有机”印章。

The rules state that:该规则规定：

• Products labeled “100% Organic”must be made entirely of organic materials.产品标示为“ 100 ％有机”必须作出完全的有机材料。
• Products labeled “Organic” or “95% Organic” must consist of at least 95% organically grown ingredients.产品标示为“有机”或“ 95 ％的有机”必须包含至少95 ％的有机成分。
• Products that have at least 70% organic ingredients may be marketed as “Made with Organic Ingredients” and may list up to three of those ingredients on the front of the product.产品至少有70 ％的有机成分可销售的“国产有机成分” ，并可以列出三个这些成分对前面的产品。

Products containing less that 70% organically grown ingredients may not make statements about the organically grown ingredients on the front of the product.产品含有不到70 ％的有机肥种植的成分可能不发表声明的有机成分前端的产品。 The organic ingredients may only be declared in the list of ingredients.有机成分仅可申报清单中的成分。

Additionally, the new rules prohibit the use of irradiated and bio-technically enhanced ingredients in the production of any organic products.此外，新规则禁止使用的辐照和生物技术上加强原料生产的任何有机产品。

Products allowed to display the new USDA seal must originate from farms and processors that have been certified by a private or public agency accredited by the USDA.产品可以显示新的美国农业部印章必须来自农场和处理器，已通过私营或公共机构经农业部。

Most consumers believe that organically grown food is safer or more nutritious than conventionally grown foods.大多数消费者认为，有机肥种植的粮食安全或更有营养，比常规种植的食物。 Many are willing to pay extra for the perceived benefits.许多人都愿意支付额外费用知觉的好处。

The USDA has stated that the new USDA Organic seal on packages is simply a marketing standard and not a stamp of approval.美国农业部指出，新的美国农业部有机包装上印刷只是一个营销的标准，而不是一种邮票的批准。 Still, many believe that the USDA Organic stamp will be perceived as an endorsement or a mark of quality.尽管如此，许多人认为美国农业部有机邮票将被视为认可或标志的质量。

Already there is talk that the new seal may have to be redesigned—or abandoned all together—if consumers misinterpret the meaning of the seal.已经有传言称新的印章可能要重新设计，或遗弃在一起，如果消费者误解的含义印章。

We have all purchased product that the checkout clerk had to pass over a special electronic pad before they placed the item into the bag.我们都购买了产品，结帐员必须通过一个特殊的电子垫放在面前，他们的项目入包里。

Why did the clerk have to do that?为什么办事员必须这样做吗？

Chances are, they were deactivating an electronic device attached to, or hidden within, the product you purchased.机遇是，他们被关闭电子设备重视，或隐藏在，你的产品购买。

Source tagging is the process of adding a small electronic device to a product in order to deter shrinkage (theft).来源标记的过程中增加一个小型电子器件的产品，以阻止收缩（盗窃） 。 The device sets off a store alarm if it is not deactivated at the time of checkout.该装置集了商店报警如果不能停用的时候结帐。

To everyone but would-be thieves, source tagging creates a win-win-win situation: the devices allow retailers to focus on honest customers instead of worrying about shoplifters; product manufacturers are being provided more shelf space for items that are normally considered high shrink; and customers are able to handle product that is normally stowed out of sight.每个人，但将成为小偷，源标签创造一个双赢的局面：在设备允许零售商将重点放在客户而不是诚实的担忧商店扒手;产品制造商正在提供更多的货架空间的项目，通常认为是高萎缩;和客户能够处理的产品，通常是存放消失在视线之外。 The benefits so far outweigh any negatives that industry experts expect more and more product to contain these devices.这样的好处远远大于任何底片，工业专家预计，越来越多的产品包含这些设备。

But who will apply these devices?但谁将适用于这些设备？ Most retailers want the tags to be applied during the manufacturing or packaging process instead of at the retail level.大多数零售商想要的标签，以适用于在生产或包装过程而不是在零售层面。 Not only does it eliminate the possibility of employee tampering but it also makes the process of stocking shelves more efficient.它不仅消除的可能性员工篡改但它也使储存过程中更有效率的货架。

But how did this revolutionary sacking technology and solution evolve?但是，怎么这个革命性的罢免技术和解决方案演变？

Aaron Thomas Company, working with the FORMOST Equipment Corporation, took basic bread bagging equipment and re-engineered the loading areas and in-feed designs to handle the loading of multiple single-serve corn and potato chip bags into pre-made printed sacks.阿龙托马斯公司工作的首要设备公司，在基本面包装袋设备和重新设计的装载地区和饲料的设计处理装载多个单一服务玉米和马铃薯片包到预先取得印刷袋。 The mechanisms necessary to automatically fill the sacks were then fine tuned to neatly pack the sacks with organized rows of product to reduce damage and enhance customer satisfaction.必要的机制来自动填充的袋子，然后良好的调谐，以整齐的麻袋包装与有组织行的产品，以减少损失和提高客户满意度。

Later, a process to automatically seal the bags with standard or double heat seals was incorporated as was in-line pass or fail check weighing validation, automatic bag labeling, and multi-wicket sack feeding.后来，一个进程，自动密封袋标准或双热封条被纳入作为在网上通过或失败的验证检查称重，自动包标记，多边门一袋喂养。 It took almost a year to incorporate all the modifications necessary to maximize production throughput and to minimize production costs.花了将近一年，将所有必要的修改，以最大限度地提高生产能力和生产成本降到最低。
