Abstract

Naturalness is a highly discussed and controversial term. Not only are there several definitions of naturalness, but what is perceived as natural can vary among social groups and individuals. Even though the understanding of the term is not as straightforward as one might assume, it is commonly used. To untangle the various perspectives and understandings of naturalness, this article studies the evolution of the regulations for the labelling of flavourings in food in Germany from 1959 to the early twenty-first century. Analysing three decrees regulating the declaration of natural and non-natural flavours, this article puts forward strategies for reframing non-natural substances and the construction of naturalness.

术语游戏：在德国风味法规中构建自然性，1959-2008。

自然是一个备受讨论和争议的术语。自然不仅有几种定义，而且在不同的社会群体和个人中，什么是自然也会有所不同。尽管对这个术语的理解并不像人们想象的那么简单，但它是常用的。为了理清对自然性的各种观点和理解，本文研究了1959年至21世纪初德国食品中调味剂标签法规的演变。分析了我国关于天然香料和非天然香料申报的三个法令，提出了非天然物质的重构和天然性的构建策略。
