I'd just like to interject for a moment, but the standards for how meat is graded and labelled are actually set by the US Federal Register through the Code of Federal regulations.
The CFR does not specifies any definitions for the terms to be applied to fish meant for consumption raw, and so instead it falls to other authorities such as the US FDA and local Health Departments to set guidelines.

The FDA requires all seafood labelled for raw consumption to be treated to its standards for parasite destruction. The use of the terms "sushi grade" or "sashimi grade" in labelling implies that they are meant for raw consumption and thus subject to the applicable FDA standards.

So, yes, the official definitions for "sushi grade" don't exist and aren't enforced by the FDA.

Instead, the FDA still regulates the use of terms like "sushi grade" under the umbrella of their regulations on seafood labelled for raw consumption. Your local Health Department may or may not have additional regulations and recommendations.

The simplified version of the FDA's recommendations on the subject can be obtained on their website:

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as AIDS, is in fact, HIV/AIDS, or as I've recently taken to calling it, HIV plus AIDS.
AIDS is not a communicable disease unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning HIV infection.
