Abstract

This paper studies the translation of a specific type of text, the recall release, which has not been thoroughly analyzed until now. To this end, a corpus containing more than 1,200 recall releases from the United States, originally written in English and translated into Spanish, has been compiled. An additional reference corpus, consisting of recall releases and related texts from Colombia, Spain, and Mexico, was also compiled. First, some general aspects were analyzed (orthography and translation of state names and units of measurement). Second, the translation of the most relevant keywords from the corpus that are linked to food safety was studied. This article concludes that, in general terms, the translation of the aforementioned elements into Spanish is adequate, although the omissions and inaccuracies, qualitatively speaking, might compromise the effectiveness of the recall releases and pose a risk to the health of consumers.
