humanizado

English translation: Humanized milk / life-like figures

Medical - Nutrition
Portuguese term or phrase: humanizado
O texto fala sobre irregularidades nas embalagens de produtos para bebês até 2 anos de idade. Algumas irregularidades são:

- imagens de lactentes ou crianças com figuras humanizadas.

- a presença de expressões como leite humanizado.

Alguém tem idéia do que significa humanizado nestes contextos? Que é uma criança com figura humanizada? Pensei em human-like milk no segundo caso mas e a criança, como fica? Obrigada.

agree  Carlos Quandt: creio que é algo assim... entendo que a suposta irregularidade seria a intenção de induzir as pessoas a aceitar o produto como algo similar ao leite materno... ou estou "viajando"?

  -> No I don't think you are "viajando" that's what I understand also. Thankyou!
agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: Yes, two different uses of the word, and your first answer s correct. However, I do wonder about "life-like figures." What would be irregular about t hat? Better to be safe and say "humanized" for both.

  -> Good point Muriel. I think the problem is that this is an artificial product that they are trying to sell as an equivalent for breast milk which is misleading. Thankyou!

Você mencionou 'irregularidades', por isso a minha sugestão. Algo ADULTO e um produto INFANTIL. Não sei se cabe, mas fica aqui minha sugestão
