美国商务委员会警告猕猴桃花粉供应商Kiwi pollen（NZ）Limited可能误导其客户关于其部分花粉的来源。

In September and October 2010, Kiwi Pollen sold pollen imported from Chile, while at the same time making claims that gave its customers the impression that all of its kiwifruit pollen was sourced from New Zealand.

2010年9月和10月，Kiwi Pollen出售从智利进口的花粉，同时声称其所有猕猴桃花粉都来自新西兰。

Kate Morrison, the Commission’s General Manager of Competition, said that, although most of Kiwi Pollen’s product was sourced from New Zealand during that time, Kiwi Pollen did not tell its customers when it was also selling them imported pollen.

委员会竞争总经理Kate Morrison表示，尽管在此期间Kiwi Pollen的大部分产品都来自新西兰，但Kiwi Pollun没有告诉客户何时也向他们出售进口花粉。

“In fact Kiwi Pollen’s website continued to give the impression that all of its pollen was collected from properties in New Zealand,” said Ms Morrison.

Morrison女士说：“事实上，Kiwi Pollen的网站仍然给人一种所有花粉都是从新西兰采集的印象。”。

Ms Morrison said that the company also repackaged the imported pollen, attaching ‘Kiwi Pollen New Zealand’ labels to the new packaging. This reinforced the impression that the pollen was from New Zealand, particularly where there were no clear qualifications on its packaging, advertising material or website that some of its pollen was imported.

莫里森女士表示，该公司还重新包装了进口花粉，并在新包装上贴上了“新西兰猕猴桃花粉”标签。这强化了花粉来自新西兰的印象，特别是在其包装、广告材料或网站上没有明确资格证明其部分花粉是进口的情况下。

“Our investigation showed that kiwifruit growers consider the country of origin of pollen to be very important,” said Ms Morrison.

莫里森女士说：“我们的调查表明，猕猴桃种植者认为花粉的原产国非常重要。”。

“Those customers who were supplied imported pollen were not aware of the fact it was imported and were denied the opportunity or ability to make an informed decision about whether to purchase it in the first place.”

“那些收到进口花粉的客户并不知道它是进口的，也没有机会或能力就是否购买它做出明智的决定。”

In considering what action to take against Kiwi Pollen, the Commission looked at the possible harm caused to customers and competitors by Kiwi Pollen’s conduct. In particular, the Commission looked into allegations that the imported pollen was a potential source of the Pseudomona syringe actinidiae (Psa) outbreak.

在考虑对Kiwi Pollen采取什么行动时，委员会考虑了Kiwi Poller的行为可能对客户和竞争对手造成的伤害。特别是，委员会调查了进口花粉是假单胞菌注射锕系（Psa）爆发的潜在来源的指控。

“We have examined information from numerous sources and have found there is no conclusive evidence to show that the imported pollen sold by Kiwi Pollen caused the Psa outbreak in New Zealand,” said Ms Morrison.

Morrison女士说：“我们检查了许多来源的信息，发现没有确凿的证据表明Kiwi pollen出售的进口花粉导致了新西兰的Psa爆发。”

We are not satisfied that competitors or customers suffered any provable loss or harm as a result of Kiwi Pollen’s conduct. The conduct was short in duration and no longer continues, and it did not appear to be deliberate. For these reasons the Commission has decided to warn Kiwi Pollen rather than prosecute.

我们不满意竞争对手或客户因Kiwi Pollen的行为而遭受任何可证明的损失或伤害。这种行为持续时间很短，不再继续，而且似乎不是故意的。出于这些原因，委员会决定警告Kiwi Pollen而不是起诉。
