据美国政府网站消息,1月29日美国联邦公报刊登消息称,美国农业部发布公告,修订美国关于枫糖浆的等级标准。新规定将自2015年3月2日起生效。
美国农业部农产品销售局(AMS)修订并替换了现有的分级标准,新标准要求有新的颜色和风味描述,A级产品要求保持品质。
美国农业部枫糖浆颜色标准将作废,新标准中颜色将采用分光光度计或其他任何能提供等价结果的方法来判定。AMS还将糖浆的拼写由“sirup”改为“syrup”。这些修订将有助于枫糖浆在美国及世界范围内的销售。
部分原文报道如下:
SUMMARY: This notice revises the United States Standards for Grades of Maple Sirup (Syrup)。 The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is revising the standards to replace the current grade classification requirements with new color and flavor descriptors, and revise Grade A requirements to be free from damage. The USDA Color Standards for Maple Sirup will become obsolete, and color will be determined using a spectrophotometer, or any method that provides equivalent results. AMS has also changed the spelling from ``sirup'' to ``syrup.'' These revisions will improve the marketing of maple syrup in the United States and internationally.
