    Myth: Synthetic dyes are chemically synthesized, so don't use them in food at all


    Fact: Some synthetic pigments are legal in China and can be used according to national standards


    In fact, in order to ensure food safety, China has clear regulations on the use of pigments


    In China, the use of synthetic pigments in soft drinks such as fruit juice is very small


    And these synthetic pigments, only soda, cold food, candy, prepared wine and fruit juice can be used in a small amount, generally not more than 1:10000


    For all kinds of food additives, they all need to undergo strict safety risk assessment and prove harmless to the human body before they can be used within a conservative range smaller than the safe dose
