Healthy snacks have a bright future

When it comes to snacks spicy strips, many people associate them with "junk food", and many people are worried about the food hygiene and safety of spicy strips

As people pay more attention to food health, snack food is becoming more and more healthy, and more and more people begin to reject unhealthy snacks

The spicy bar industry, which has always been considered "high oil, high salt, and high additives", has to "reduce additives" to meet the challenge

In response to the pain point of spicy strips of "high oil, high salt, high additives, and low nutrition", in the released industry standard, the number of food additives used has been reduced by more than 70%, and the salt content has dropped by 17.

The industry standard also clearly stipulates the scope of seasoned noodle products, makes specific provisions on sensory, pollutant limits, mycotoxin limits, microbial limits, food additives and nutritional fortifiers and other indicators, and clearly stipulates the corresponding test methods, inspections and other indicators.

Industry insiders believe that in addition to complying with national standards, enterprises should also pay attention to the health and more needs of consumer groups, pay attention to the nutritional components of products, and make efforts in raw material adjustment, product development, nutritional health, and low-fat weight loss
