Food Additives: "Tim" or "Not Tim"?

Experts stated that as long as they are used according to national standards, food additives are safe. “The illegal addition of some food products has damaged the reputation of food additives. In fact, the proper use of food additives that meet the requirements of the country is safe, and ordinary people do not need to talk about change.”

At the recent seminar on strengthening food safety supervision held by the National School of Administration, experts said that without food additives, there would be no modern food processing industry and there would be no rich and colorful food types. As long as it is used according to national standards, food additives are safe.

In accordance with the Hygienic Standard for the Use of Food Additives, there are 23 types of additives allowed in China, of which 334 are food additives and 1850 are food flavors. From a foreign point of view, the use of US food additives is more than our country, and the scope of use is also wider than our country.

Food additives have the effect of improving food quality, extending the shelf life of foods, and facilitating food processing. In many cases, there is no food additive that can make food less safe. Such as preservatives, if you cancel, instant noodles will not be stored for a long time will deteriorate, jelly can not eat for two days, a lot of food on the supermarket shelves are not well preserved.

Since food additives are beneficial, why are many consumers still "unreasonable?"

Experts from the National School of Administration believe that with the appearance of a series of food safety incidents, consumers have not been clear about what is a food additive, and what is “illegal additives” creates psychological “panic”. For example, melamine, clenbuterol, Sudan red, peacock blue... These are not food additives. They appear in food and are illegally added by illegal producers. To ensure food safety, we must strengthen market supervision.

At present, there are two major problems in the illegal addition of foods. First, use non-food materials as food additives, such as adding lemon yellow, melamine, Sudan red, etc.; second, use antiseptics, sweeteners, and coloring agents in excess or in excess. Bleach etc.

Not long ago, the General Office of the State Council issued a circular requesting relevant departments to strictly review and formulate national standards for new varieties of food additives, and formulate and publish general safety standards for food additives and food additive labeling standards.

According to industry insiders, producers, sellers and users of food additives should be registered for future reference and a strict food traceability system should be established. While strengthening the supervision of food safety, we must also strengthen corporate social responsibility and raise the awareness of operating in accordance with the law. Increased penalties for companies in violation of regulations until they are expelled from the market.
