But when food technologists speak of ambient foods, they’re using the term as shorthand for ambient temperature foods (which makes my friend’s job ambient temperature foods stock control manager, which really is a mouthful). You can argue they’re using the word correctly, since they’re speaking of foods that can be stored at the temperature of their surroundings in the store, without needing to be chilled, such as canned foods, jars of coffee, fresh fruit or bags of sugar. But I’ve also come across ambient fishmonger, a wonderfully gnomic phrase meaning one of those guys who sells unrefrigerated fresh fish.
You have to admit there’s an ambience about ambient.

Non mi sembra che \"alimenti non deperibili\" sia corretto se non aggiungi a temperatura ambiente; la carne non deperisce se la conservo in frigorifero o la surgelo!
Inoltre dire \" a conservazione ambientale \" o \"che si conserva a temp. ambiente\" è una forma diversa di dire la stessa cosa; l\'importante era definire che cosa era \"ambient food\".
