Tainted Japanese rice discovered at Taiwan company

來自eTaiwan的一篇報導

The Department of Health said yesterday that one Taiwanese company had been found selling tainted Japanese rice products.

Japan's agriculture minister resigned yesterday over reports that Japanese food processing companies used Chinese and Vietnamese rice contaminated by pesticides or mould to produce sweets and biscuits.

tainted

According to OneLook Dictionary

tainted 的意思如下

adjective: touched by rot or decay ("Tainted bacon")
adjective: especially of reputation

因此tainted除了可以形容被污染的食物外,也可以用來形容聲譽/名譽上的損失

The questions about Japanese rice products followed the recent panic over milk powder and other dairy products from China found to be tainted by the chemical melamine.
