    Introduction: in order to attract customers, many food production and processing vendors use excessive food additives to improve the taste Recently, a cake owner in Tongbai County was detained for food safety inspection by the police Baibai safety net reminds that food businesses should master the basic knowledge of food processing safety, and should not violate the law for the sake of interests On July 15 this year, a cake owner in Tongbai County was found to have excessive food additives in his cake during the food safety inspection conducted by the police, and then was detained by the Tongbai County police in accordance with the law for the crime of suspected production and sale of food that does not meet the safety standards So, when food producers and processors are making food, they should know which food additives are safe to use? Function of food additives Food additive is a kind of compound or natural substance added into food to improve the quality of food such as color, fragrance and taste, as well as to meet the needs of antisepsis and processing technology At present, there are 23 categories and more than 2000 varieties of food additives in China, including acidity regulator, defoamer, antioxidant, etc Principles for the use of food additives in food processing ① Food additives shall not be used beyond the scope The national food safety standard for the use of food additives gb2760-2011 and its supplementary provisions define the scope of use of each food additive The use of compound food additives shall be in accordance with the application scope indicated by the label At the same time, it is necessary to refer to the ingredient list to see whether each ingredient (single product food additive) conforms to the national food safety standard for the use of food additives gb2760-2011 and the scope of supplementary provisions Although you are using food additives, your products are not in the scope of application of this food additive, and are still illegal! Shanghai "color steamed bread incident" is an example ② Do not overuse food additives The national food safety standard for the use of food additives gb2760-2011 and its supplementary provisions specify the maximum use amount of each food additive If compound food additives are used to produce food, if you want to add some other food additives, you should consult the technical personnel of the manufacturer of compound food additives to prevent excessive quantity caused by repeated addition! ③ The residue should be strictly controlled The national food safety standard for the use of food additives gb2760-2011 and its supplementary provisions have made clear the residues of some food additives Even if it is not excessive, it may exceed the standard! ④ The principle of weighted calculation should be followed when using multiple food additives with the same function at the same time This is the most easily ignored problem in food factories If we violate this principle, we still abuse food additives! ⑤ Attention should be paid to the use range and dosage of food additives in the food ingredients If the food additives used in the food ingredients are illegal, it will directly lead to the additives in your food exceeding the standard, scope, and even containing "non edible substances"! ⑥ The use of a variety of food additives should avoid chemical reactions to produce toxic and harmful substances If the technicians lack chemical knowledge, the random deployment of food additives may cause chemical reactions to produce toxic and harmful substances! ⑦ The purpose of using food additives is to improve the quality and stability of food, improve its sensory characteristics, and facilitate the production, processing, packaging, transportation or storage of food The use of food additives can not cover up the deterioration of food, the quality defects of food itself or in the process of processing or for the purpose of doping, adulteration and forgery Not to produce health hazards to the human body! Baibai reminds us that food safety is very important for our healthy life As a food producer and operator, we must take responsibility for the life and health of consumers and not use food additives indiscriminately More life knowledge of food additives can be found on this safety website Editor in charge: Hu Lingling
