In recent days, many media outlets have exploded, and the [exclusive secret" of the hot pot turned out to be It is a "chemical hot pot."

"Sudan red cancer turmoil", "melamine-induced infant kidney stone incident", "Cleanene poisoning incident" ... In the illegal use of additives, the Chinese people have repeatedly been "pay a single."
For a time, worries about food additives "have been under the brow, but they are up."

For example, white lumps are added to yuba, vermicelli, and other foods for whitening and preservation, but they can cause lung, liver, and kidney damage in poisoned people.

The public`s knowledge of this stems from the shock of the tragedy that the illegal additives had caused in China. So, can the additive be used? What is legal and what is illegal?
Professor Wang Zongyu from the Law School of the People's University of China who studies the food safety law said that the current consumer reaction to food additives [talks about discoloration" is because illegal additives are included in the scope of food additives. Illegal additives are additives that are outside the country's list of permitted uses. The abuse of additives refers to the use of food additives that are not permitted by the State in accordance with the regulations. Hang white, Sudan red, clenbuterol, melamine ... ... These are illegal additives, is the production of businesses to add food in order to reduce costs and increase revenue, not food additives.
According to Wang Zongyu, at present, the country mainly controls the access of food additives by controlling the production and use of food additive licenses and publishing the catalog of food additives that can be used. Under normal circumstances, the legalization of an additive must go through many procedures such as application, evaluation, and approval, and it requires a use permit. Wang Zongyu revealed that most of the illegal additives currently on the market are unpatched.
The "preservation faction" of food additives insists that Phosphate Food Additives are the soul of the modern food industry. The rational use of food additives in the food processing and manufacturing process can not only make the processed foods look good in color, smell, taste, shape and structure, but also To maintain and increase the nutritional content of foods and prevent food spoilage, as long as they are used according to regulations and standards, additives will not cause damage to human health. However, who can actually guarantee that it will not be excessive?
According to the "Food Safety Law", the use of food additives has two conditions, "one is really necessary, and the other is through a risk assessment to prove safe and reliable." In addition, the standards that have been established should also be adjusted in time according to the results of use. The reason for this is that almost all food additives are harmful to health if they are consumed for a long period of time.
It may be unfair to attribute all food safety problems to food additives, but it cannot be denied that the vast majority of food safety issues are related to food additives. There are more than 2,500 food additives currently listed in the national standard. So are they all "necessary"? It is currently proven to be safe and reliable. Can it guarantee that no security problems will be discovered in the future?
