Cosmetics
This is taken from a document relating to the boundary between cosmetics and drugs and the confusion caused by the marketing of these products.
"Peut-on valablement parler de risque de confusion quand le produit est vendu en *food, para*, vpc?"
Obviously 'vpc' is referring to the products being sold by mail-order, but 'en food, para' makes no sense at all to me. Could it be a typo for something else (though I'm struggling to think what!)?
Any suggestions, as always, much appreciated.
TIA

Hi Victoria
There are some good entries for "parapharmacie" in the glossary eg. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1554128
Here is my answer when "en food" came up a while back:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1215284
food
Appellation familière du circuit de distribution des grandes et moyennes surfaces (GMS), dont le référencement comporte essentiellement des produits alimentaires.
Seems the English equivalent is "food channels"
"The final consumer obtains organic food and beverages mainly through natural food stores followed by conventional supermarkets and other food channels."
“The significant shift of non-food CPG shopping and purchasing from mass merchandiser and food channels to ‘discount’ channels reveals acceleration in multi-channel shopping."

Sorry, I meant confidence to be 3 but got caught out by the slippery scroll-down again!

Sales of nutritional supplements in food channels stayed flat in 2004. The food channel’s sales share is the smallest among the 3 distribution channels, at less than 10 percent, and sales stayed the same as the year before - $1.0 billion.

: for 'food channels' on the web you get mainly culinary references. The French use 'food' to mean supermarkets IMO

sold in hyper/supermarkets, drugstores/parapharmacies
"vpc" is distance-selling.
For "food", I'm pretty sure because I've already heard this word during internships in the marketing field.
See http://www.effie.fr/_96sensodyne.htm (sorry, it's a French article) : "Depuis 1991, Sensodyne est également vendu en grandes surfaces, avec un produit quasiment identique à celui vendu en Pharmacie (modifications mineures de la formule et du packaging). Depuis son introduction en food en 1991..."
"Para" is indeed for "parapharmacie".
Hope this helps!
