“毒豆芽”英語怎么說

　　摘要:遼寧省沈陽市公安局新聞辦18日發布消息說，沈陽市公安局皇姑分局端掉6個黃豆芽黑加工點，查獲摻入非食品添加劑豆芽25余噸。你知道怎么用英語表達嗎?

　　Twenty-five tons of bean sprouts containing cancer-inducing additives were uncovered by police in the capital city of Liaoning Province, China News Service reported on Monday.

　　Eight suspects alleged to have added sodium nitrite, urea and other illegal additives were arrested for making poisonous food, according to a statement released by Shenyang police.

　　據中國新聞社周一報道，警方在遼寧沈陽查獲25噸添加致癌添加劑的豆芽。沈陽警方發表的聲明稱，8名涉嫌添加亞硝酸鈉、尿素和其他非法添加劑的嫌疑人，已被警方以生產有毒食品罪拘捕。

　　【講解】文中的bean sprouts即指豆芽，毒豆芽(poisonous bean sprouts)是指在豆芽生產過程中添加了亞硝酸鈉(sodium nitrite)、尿素(urea)等非法添加劑(illegal additives),以使豆芽長得又粗又長，縮短生產周期，增加發芽率。其中亞硝酸鈉是一種致癌物(cancer-inducing additive)。近日溫家寶點名批評了頻發的惡性食品安全(food safety)事件，稱這些事件表明了誠信的缺失和道德的滑坡(dishonesty and moral degradation)已經到了何等嚴重的地步。
