Food Additives ≠ Illegal Additives

When the public talks about the discoloration of food additives, the more reason is that they confuse the concepts of illegal additives and food additives. It is obviously unfair to deduct some illegal additives on food additives. The "Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Severely Cracking down on Illegal Food Additions and Effectively Strengthening the Supervision of Food Additives" requires the regulation of the production and use of food additives: it is strictly prohibited to use non-edible substances to produce compound food additives, and it is not allowed to purchase food additives with irregular labels and unknown sources , Strictly investigate and deal with the abuse of food additives that exceed the scope and limit, and require the formulation and publication of general safety standards for compound food additives and food additive labeling standards before the end of 2011.

What needs to be severely cracked down is illegal additions in food, and what urgently needs to be regulated is the production and use of food additives. There are some problems with food additives, such as unknown sources, or improper materials, and the most likely problem is abuse.

Experts remind citizens that there is no need to panic about food additives. With the upcoming release of relevant national standards, the production and use of food additives will be more standardized. Of course, you should strengthen your awareness of self-protection and learn more about food safety, especially not to buy foods that are too bright in color, too strong in taste, and have abnormal taste.
