The disease comes from the mouth, and now food safety is concerned by the public. People are increasingly pursuing pure natural healthy food. As long as they see food additives, they are afraid and think it is harmful to their health. They think that zero addition is a good product, but it is not, so how do you treat zero addition? A few days ago, the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Food Labeling (Draft for Comment) was publicly solicited for comments on the website of the State Administration of Markets, which stipulated that: ① General food labeling should not be emphasized as suitable for specific people without laws, regulations, rules and food safety standards; ② Food shall not be marked with the words "zero addition"; ③ The text height of production date and quality guarantee date shall not be less than 3mm; (4) Encourage food producers to mark the tips of low oil, low salt, low sugar or sugar-free on food labels. What do you think of zero addition? 1. Zero addition does not mean complete health. Some foods claim zero addition, which is divided into two situations. One is that it is not allowed to add, but it is still marked with zero addition; The other is to allow adding without adding. The allowed food additives include emulsifiers, preservatives and thickeners, but also sweeteners and colorants. The scope, maximum dosage and participation amount used must be true and accurate, not exaggerated and false, and some deceptive words or graphics should be used to attract consumers, and consumers should not be misled by large font size or color difference. Food additives can improve the color and flavor of food. In order to meet the requirements of preservation and processing technology, synthetic or natural food must be added, which is essential for food processing. Therefore, the quality of food can't be judged by the number of food additives. Every legal additive is to achieve a specific function and improve its flavor and taste. If there is a lack of preservatives, food will deteriorate quickly, which will bring security risks. Especially the food that can't be eaten at one time is easy to breed microorganisms, and adding preservatives can ensure food safety. In addition, some products are labeled as preservative-free. Generally, a large amount of sugar and salt are added to achieve long-term preservation. Regular eating can cause hypertension and hyperglycemia. 2. Food additives cannot be blamed. In daily life, the alkaline flour used for steaming steamed bread, the coagulant used for making tofu, and the baking soda used for baking bread are all additives. Without additives, food spoils quickly. At present, the state has certain standards for the scope and dosage of various food additives. The allowed food additives have passed scientific and strict safety tests, so there is no need to worry too much. Tips Dialectical treatment of additives, can not blindly pursue pure natural food. In fact, as long as food additives are used within a limited range, they must be safe. When buying food, you must choose the products produced by regular manufacturers, so that the quality is more guaranteed. The article is taken from: https://www.familydoctor.cn/a/202007/2619697.html
