The harm of excessive illegal food additives is very serious Long-term consumption of coliform and preservatives will cause diseases such as gastroenteritis; long-term consumption of yogurt with excessive nitrite will also cause harm to liver, kidney and other important organs of human body, even cancer! Preservatives are the most controversial among all kinds of food additives Food needs preservatives for long-term preservation, and people are worried about the use of preservatives How about the use of preservatives in general food? Can the food safety detector accurately detect the food with excessive preservatives? We have a deep understanding of the use of preservatives in all kinds of food on the market, and extensively consult experts' opinions We found that there are many problems in the use of preservatives in food that are not concerned by everyone, and there are also some misunderstandings of consumers about preservatives in food, which are mainly manifested in: 1 Some consumers are very vague about the concept of preservative Consumers often see some unreadable chemical terms on food labels, but they don't know their ingredients and real uses For example, when we see the words sorbic acid and benzoic acid, we will think that they are some substances that regulate the sour taste In fact, sorbic acid and benzoic acid are commonly used preservatives They are widely used in beverages, convenience foods, condiments and other foods Preservatives are often indispensable for long-term preservation of foods 2 Lack of knowledge about the toxicity of some preservatives The preservative in food has some side effects, even contains trace toxins If it is not used properly, it will bring harm to human body Taking benzoic acid, a widely used food preservative, as an example, benzoic acid and its sodium salt have been controversial in the world due to the accumulated poisoning phenomenon The European Community Child Protection Group believes that it is not suitable for children's food, and Japan has made strict restrictions on its use However, benzoic acid and its sodium salt are still widely used in domestic food industry due to their low price as preservatives 3 Some food production enterprises use preservatives with the characteristics of bacteriostasis and disinfection, regard preservatives as universal agents, and generally use preservatives in the processing of food They combine the processes of antisepsis, bacteriostasis and disinfection into one, which requires increasing the dosage of preservatives, posing a serious threat to the health of consumers 4 In order to reduce the production cost, some food production enterprises often use the cheapest preservative type with greater toxic and side effects when they need to use preservatives, and only focus on making money regardless of the health rights and interests of consumers These are the introduction of illegal food additives If you want to know more about food additives, please go to Baibai safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
