The new standard of food additive limits the use of saccharin sodium in some foods

Introduction: food additives have always been an indispensable good partner in food production and processing, but the premise is correct use Because not all food additives can be used in any kind of food, therefore, Baibai safety net reminds us that in order to be healthy, we need to know some safety knowledge related to food additives, in order to prevent buying food with wrong additives Food additives can be said to be a double-edged sword Correct use can prevent food from deteriorating prematurely and out of date, improve taste and misuse, which will harm our health Today, Baibai popularizes the use standard of saccharin sodium in the new version of food additives and other relevant safety knowledge for you Food additive saccharin sodium will be used in a narrow range The standard for the use of food additives (gb2760-2014) (hereinafter referred to as the standard) was implemented on May 24, 2015 In the new version of the standard for the use of food additives, saccharin sodium is forbidden to be used in bread, pastry, biscuit, beverage and other foods, further narrowing the scope of use of saccharin sodium in food At the same time, gb2760-2014 also cancelled the use of aluminum containing food additives in wheat flour It is reported that saccharin sodium is an organic chemical synthetic product, which is white powder, odorless or slightly fragrant, with a strong sweet and bitter taste, and has long been used as a food additive "sweetener" Which foods contain more saccharin sodium? In the drinks and snacks of primary and secondary school students, saccharin sodium is generally the most abundant Parents should remind their children to pay attention to it when buying Around some primary and secondary schools, there are all kinds of small food stalls selling all kinds of soda, ice cream, plum, etc In the production of preserves, ice cream, cakes and biscuits, GB2760 stipulates that the maximum use of saccharin sodium is 0.15 g / kg But basically, saccharin is used beyond the standard and scope However, the label of the product rarely indicates that saccharin is contained Consumers unconsciously eat saccharin for a long time, and their health and safety have been damaged Harm of saccharin sodium as food additive As the consumption of saccharin is harmful to human health, some western developed countries strictly control the use of saccharin The control standard is generally no more than 5% of the total consumption of sugar, and it is mainly used for toothpaste and other industrial purposes Compared with developed countries, China's saccharin use is 14 times more than the normal use More experts warned that by the second half of 1999, the share of saccharin in the national sugar market had reached 55% - 60% of the total market share, seriously squeezing the share of sucrose In particular, a small number of consumers do not know the harm of saccharin at all, eat a large amount of saccharin in a short period of time, causing thrombocytopenia and acute bleeding, multiple organ damage, etc., leading to malignant poisoning events Baibai reminds that excessive consumption of saccharin sodium will cause harm to your health, so you must be careful when purchasing food There is a feature of foods with saccharin, that is, when the concentration is high, there will be bitter taste If it is found that the food is a little bitter in the sweet, it can be judged as saccharin basically More safety knowledge of food additives can be found on this safety website Editor in charge: Hu Lingling
