    Introduction: food colorant is a kind of food additive, but colorant is harmful to human body Here is an introduction to the harm of colorant to human body According to the sources of colorants, colorants can be divided into two categories: natural colorants and synthetic colorants Natural colorants are carotenoids extracted or processed from plants and microorganisms, while synthetic colorants are mainly carotenoids Such as lemon flavin, Gali red, Gali yellow, Lu Kangding, etc Is there any harm in taking too much colorant? Is colorant harmful to the body? In fact, the state order prohibits the production enterprises from illegally adding non edible colorants and over standard colorants After long-term consumption of such food, human health will be affected, and excessive pollutants will cause damage to the main organs of the human body Especially to the healthy development of children In the food market, almost every seafood vendor puts black plastic bags in a prominent position Most stall owners put seafood in black plastic bags directly after weighing Most of the black plastic bags in the farmer's market are processed with waste plastic with poor quality, such as waste packaging film and packaging bag, which are covered by a large number of dark pigments The colorants contain toxic substances Many small retail stores put on the shelves of some snacks are added to varying degrees of lemon yellow, carmine, sunset yellow and other colorants It is understood that children's favorite rainbow sugar has added five kinds of food additives, such as temptation red, lemon yellow, sunset yellow, bright blue, indigo, etc when most young parents choose snacks for their children, they usually care about the taste and don't care about the ingredients of food additives, which is a very bad phenomenon Most of the colorants are chemical colorants with low cost In order to reduce the cost and achieve the purpose of profit, most of the bad enterprises that deal in candy often choose to add colorants to the products, so as to increase the beauty of the products and attract customers' purchase desire Colorant is a kind of chemical synthetic agent, which is also used as a chemical colorant After eating, the metabolism of liver and kidney will affect human health Occasionally, it can be metabolized and excreted For example, eating a large amount of food containing sunset yellow colorant for a long time or once may cause allergy, diarrhea and other symptoms When the intake is too large and exceeds the organ load of human body, it will accumulate in human body and cause certain damage to kidney So I want to remind you that for the sake of health, do not eat colorant food or use plastic bags without safety signs The food safety detector can check whether the food is safe or not All the food with food additives we buy are of composite testing standards, so you can use them at ease If you want to know more about food additives, please go to Baibai safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
