Cette expression figure sur nombre de boîtes, de bouteilles, etc. Elle est souvent traduite par "agiter avant usage", ce qui incite l'usager à secouer l'ensemble de l'emballage. Ce geste est néfaste dans le cas de certaines colles ou résines, l'agitation ayant laissé au fond du récipient le produit actif. 1, record 1, French, - touiller%20avant%20usage
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Remuer ou brasser auraient été meilleurs que agiter, mais ils ne conduisent pas à agir de la façon exacte qui convient, aussi bien que "touiller", qui doit être employé malgré ses connotations familières. Homogénéiser aurait été acceptable, mais il ne serait compris que d’un nombre plus réduit de personnes. 1, record 1, French, - touiller%20avant%20usage

Antimicrobial food packaging is directed toward reduction of surface contamination on processed, prepared foods such as sliced meats and hot dogs. The use of such packaging materials is not meant to be a substitute for good sanitation practices but should enhance the safety of food as an additional hurdle for the growth of pathogenic and/or spoilage microorganisms. 2, record 2, English, - antimicrobial%20food%20packaging
