Who is "Hex Technology" hi? Food additives are not floods...

This National Day holiday, a brand of soy sauce that fought against the blogger of "Hex Technology" was repeatedly on the hot search
.

"Hex Technology" was originally a game term that refers to a technology that combines magic and technology
.
Not long ago, some short video bloggers called some so-called "decay into magic" food making technology as "Hex Technology", exposing milk tea made with creamer powder and vegetable fat powder, steak pressed with minced meat and scraps, bird's nest made of gelatin, ground and syrup.
.
.
Related short videos exploded
.

But when the short video of "Hex Technology" was aimed at the food additives in the ingredient list of a well-known brand of soy sauce, controversy emerged
.
Proponents believe that this is exposing unscrupulous merchants, and soy sauce brewed by pure natural ancient methods is a high-quality food; Opponents believe that this is a stigmatization of food additives, and the modern food industry is inseparable from legal and appropriate amounts of food additives
.

In fact, pure nature does not represent high quality, and traditional craftsmanship does not represent safety
.
Pure natural ancient food often has a short shelf life, and spoiled food poisoning occurs from time to time, for example, two years ago, there was an incident
in Heilongjiang where eating homemade sour soup during a dinner party caused many people to die of poisoning.
The most commonly used spices, salt and sugar, are historical "preservatives", and the traditional salted fish and candied fruit rely on a large amount of salt and sugar to extend the shelf life
.
However, eating more salt will increase the risk of high blood pressure, eating more sugar will increase the risk of diabetes, and salted fish and preserves made in ancient times are not healthy foods
.
As for the soy sauce that caused controversy among everyone, the traditional ancient method of producing soy sauce is open-air drying, and maggots in sauce tanks are very common, and many people may not be able to accept maggots as a "natural" protein; And because it relies on salt to prevent preservatives, it belongs to high-salt food, and it is not healthy
.

Food additives are not flood beasts, and whether they are healthy and safe depends on scientific judgment
.
Some soy sauce ingredients list has preservatives and other additives, the main role is to inhibit bacteria in the salt reduction environment, to avoid excessive salt intake
.
As long as the additive meets the national food safety standards and is used in compliance, it will not bring food safety problems, and we only need to oppose over-dose and over-range abuse
.
But we also need to distinguish the difference between
food additives and illegal additives.
Melamine, formalin, Sudan red, etc.
involved in
major food safety cases are illegal additives, not food additives, and must be prohibited from being added to food.

What triggered the controversy of netizens over brand soy sauce was also the "double standard" problem
.
Some netizens posted that they bought the brand of soy sauce abroad, and there were no preservatives and other additives on the ingredient list, only natural raw materials such as water, soybeans, wheat, and salt; Other netizens posted the ingredient list of the brand soy sauce purchased in domestic supermarkets, containing a variety of additive ingredients
.
In fact, this is just a different grade of soy sauce of the brand, not a "double standard"
.
In the domestic market, the brand also has the same grade of preservative-free soy sauce for sale, the price is more expensive than ordinary soy sauce
.

In the face of the accusation of "double standard", the merchant does not have to overreact to believe that this is the attack and suppression of competitors, and the opposition to netizens, but should explain the truth clearly while discovering the business opportunities
contained therein.
From eating enough to eating well, the needs of the people are the direction of the progress of the
food industry.
Soy sauce is a necessity for Chinese families, and more and more people are willing to consume high-quality soy sauce, which is a good thing
.
Merchants can moderately increase the proportion of high-quality soy sauce supply in the domestic market, so that consumers have more choices
.

Food comes first
.
For consumers, there is no need to believe in "zero additives" and "pure natural", but to choose food with a scientific attitude, balance between food price, safety and health, nutritional quality, and choose what they need
.
For manufacturers and merchants, they should face up to consumer needs and use scientific and technological means more to improve the quality of food, rather than just to reduce costs and increase profits
.
Who is "Hex Technology" hi? It depends on who
the technology is applied for.
