can I write "tinned sterilized poultry" or sterilized tinned poultry??

Question

which is the best option: kinds of poultry/ grades or species of poultry?
Thank you very much for Your help
I'm translating a text with information about poultry company

Kinds/species/ grades - iI do not know which is the best one to describe: chickens, ducks, geese, guinea flows


my sentence: carcasses, poultry parts and giblets (this is my translation) - produced from four kinds/species/grades of poultry. which one should I choose?

Answer 1

The first implies that the poultry is sterilized before it is tinned, the second that the poultry is tinned then sterilized. It's a fine point but I think the second may be more accurate from the point of view of the canning process. Either is grammatically acceptable, semantically one is more accurate than the other, perhaps.

Kinds/species of poultry means different biological animals, eg chicken, turkey, guineafowl. Grades of poultry would refer to the quality, regardless of species.

I think I would write: "Carcasses, poultry parts and giblets produced from four kinds of poultry." if the meat is produced from chicken and other poultry, 'grades' if it is referring to four different qualities of meat (regardless of whether it's chicken/turkey or whatever)

'Species' (in English) is a zoolgical term which would be out of context in the poultry industry.

Answer 2

The first means that you are packaging sterilized poultry in tin cans as opposed to, say for example, plastic bags.
So the subject is really sterilized poultry.

In the second example, the subject is tinned poultry which has been sterilized. This leads the reader to believe that not all tinned poultry is sterilized.

The answer is that you can write it either way. It depends on the message you want to send.
