Portuguese term or phrase: Gelatina de Tangerina Light
Boa tarde para todos! Essa pergunta é bem simples...minha dúvida aqui é se devo traduzir o "Light" como "Low fat" OU "Diet". O que acham? Nunca puvi o termo "Light Gelatin". O termo usado com mias frequência é "Diet" OU "Low Fat" (Nos EUA). Enfim, Devo traduzir literalmente para "Light Gelatin"? O que acham?

Obrigada!

Low calorie or Light or Lite


Explanation:
Food Label Glossary

In order to call a food item "light" or "lite," if 50% or more of the calories are from fat, fat must be reduced by at least 50% per serving. If less than 50% of calories are from fat, fat must be reduced at least 50% or calories reduced at least one-third per serving. "Light" or "Lite" meals or main dish products must meet definitions for "low calorie" or "low fat" meals and labeled to indicate which definition is met.

neutral  Filippe Vasconcellos de Freitas Guimarães: cuidado, "light" não implica "sugar-free" no Brasil! Minha família inteira é de diabéticos e isso já causou muita confusão... :) //Claro. Mas a gelatina vendida no Brasil como "light" (ou seja, o produto cujo nome a Mary está vertendo) não é sugar-free.

  -> Estamos falando aqui do uso corrente em inglês, o que compramos nos supermercados aqui nos EUA. E não se vê nas prateleiras o termo "Light Jelly" .
