The authoritative department does not cause any harm to the human body by rational use of food additives for food additives.
January 18, 2022
All food safety incidents that have occurred in recent years are not caused by food additives. The rational use of food additives does not cause harm to the human body. This is the information that the reporter learned from the just-concluded China Food Additives Production and Application Association annual meeting.
For a period of time, some companies have used consumer concerns about food safety to cater to consumers' psychology and claimed on the food label that 'this product contains no preservatives and does not contain any additives', causing confusion in people's understanding. Intensified people's fear of food preservatives. According to reports, any food safety incident at home and abroad was not caused by food additives, including the 'Sudan Red Event' that affected the country in the first half of this year. Sudanese itself is not a food additive, and some people mix illegal additives with food additives. In addition, in previous food inspections, it was not uncommon for products to fail due to overuse of food additives.
In order to help enterprises get rid of the problem of excessive use of additives and help enterprises to use anti-corrosion antioxidants more scientifically and rationally, the China Food Additives Association has met three times in succession since 2004 to try to help companies solve the problem of excessive use of additives technically. At present, a number of new products and new technologies for additives that can ensure food safety and do not use excessive standards have been initially developed. At the same time, the China Food Additives Production and Application Association also decided to set up a preservative industrial damage investigation team and hired legal advisors to investigate and legally pursue the legal liability of unscrupulous companies for industrial damage.
During the meeting, the Japan Food Additives Association also conducted extensive exchanges with Chinese counterparts.
