Misuse of additives is a food safety scourge.

In another 20 days we will usher in the most stringent
four food safety
law in history, hoping that this much-anticipated code will allow us to
four food safety
issues to be strongly protected, the State Food and Drug Administration recently informed the first half of the food safety sampling situation. The results showed that the pass rate of samples samples tested was 96.3%, and there were still problems such as exceeding the standard of residues of banned agricultural and veterinary drugs, illegally adding non-edible substances and overuse of food additives.illegal addition of cases: Leqing "sunset yellow" case off the netshop owners do not know that the identity of these customers can not be ordinary, they are Leqing City Public Security Bureau a large number of police. Earlier, police received a clue that the deli at the halogen store was suspected to have added "sunset yellow.""Sunset Yellow" is a synthetic colorant that makes food look better. According to the Health Standards for the Use of Food Additives, Sunset Yellow cannot be used in cooked meat products. If people eat "sunset yellow" in large quantities for a long time or at one time, they may cause allergies, diarrhea and other symptoms, and in severe cases, damage to the kidneys and liver.police to the halogen shop to buy cooked food, sent to Leqing City food quality and safety testing center. After testing, soup, pig's head meat, chicken claws are detected in the "sunset yellow" ingredients, including cooked food "sunset yellow" content of 116 grams per kg, sample soup is 0.003 grams per kg.evidence is conclusive. Leqing Police immediately raided the halogen shop, seized 100 grams of "sunset yellow" on the spot, and seized about 20 kilograms of pig's head meat, chicken claws and other deli and soup.Food Additives Misunderstanding In the food industry, there is no way to completely evade food additives, but the food additives and illegal additives are confused with each other, is still the biggest misunderstanding of food additives today. Not all substances added to food are called food additives, and not all additives can be used in food. For example, in 2005 the Sudan red incident, Sudan red itself is an industrial red dye, that is, industrial product additives, used in food is illegal additives., food that does not add any food additives is not always safe, and adding multiple additives is not always safe. For example, infant milk powder is designed according to the nutritional needs of infants and young children in different growth periods, adding the right amount of vitamins and minerals and other nutrients. These added vitamins, minerals, is food additives, an infant formula contains more than 40 kinds of food additives, but does not mean that it is unsafe products. And qualified fresh cow's milk is not added any additives, but lack of human growth and development of essential nutrients, for infants and young children is not the best choice.The new Food Safety Law regulates food additives First, it is clear that the State shall implement a licensing system for the production of food additives, and that producers must obtain a license in accordance with legal procedures before they can engage in the production of food additives.second, enterprises engaged in the production of food additives must have places, production equipment or facilities, professional and technical personnel and management systems appropriate to the varieties of food additives produced.third is that food additives produced by producers must comply with laws, regulations and national standards for food safety.Fourth, food producers purchasing food additives shall check the supplier's license and product certification, and shall not purchase or use food additives that do not meet food safety standards.fifth is that the producers of food additives must be in accordance with food safety standards for the production of food additives inspection, inspection qualified before the factory or sales.Abuse of food additives is not China's exclusive problem, is the world's regulatory units face a common problem, we strictly implement their own national laws and regulations at the same time, we may wish to look at the world, to see how other countries are regulated, learning useful experience can help purify everyone's dietary environment, but also to food additives
wash injustice", let it play a real value in the
food processing
industry.United States:Clear Test method Ded Germany:implements fast traceability In Germany, food manufacturers must list the additives used on food labels. German food production, processing and sales enterprises are obliged to record the quality of the raw materials used, and information such as the purchase channel and the object of sale must also be recorded. In the event of a food safety problem, it is possible to find out what the problem is in a very short period of time. EUS: Has previously proved harmless EUS
Food Additives
legislation adopts a
mix system", i.e., through scientific evaluation and consultation, to develop regulations on
food additives
acceptable to all Member States, and finally to publish the list of food additives allowed to be used, specific conditions for use and limits of use, etc. Even if a food additive is harmless, it is prohibited until proven harmless.
