Why do people always doubt the safety of food additives

In China (Malaysia food flavour supplier) , when it comes to food safety (Malaysia food Ingredient supplier) , many people will talk about food additives (Malaysia food flavour wholesale) . People always doubt the safety of food additives and mistakenly think that food safety problems are caused by food additives for many reasons. One of the main reasons is that illegal additives take the blame for food additives, the well-known melamine, Sudan red, and so on are not food additives at all, they are all illegal additives. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish food additives from illegal additives and crack down on illegal food additions.

Another reason is that many people lack correct understanding and understanding of food additives. Food additives refer to synthetic or natural substances added to food to improve food quality and color, aroma, taste and preservative (Malaysia food flavour wholesale) , fresh-keeping and processing needs. China implements a licensing system for the production and use of food additives, only if it is really necessary to use them. Only those that are confirmed to be safe and reliable through safety evaluation and approved by our government are licensed food additives.


Even allowed food additives must be used legally and cannot be used in excess. In April 2011, CCTV revealed that corn flour steamed buns sold in several supermarkets in Shanghai were made from white flour dyed with lemon yellow without corn flour (Malaysia food Ingredient supplier) . Lemon yellow is a permissible food additive (Malaysia food flavour supplier) , which can be used in puffed food, ice cream, cocoa chips, fruit juice drinks and other foods, but not in steamed bread. The incident of dyeing steamed bread is not only an illegal act of deceiving consumers, but also a typical illegal incident of out-of-scope use of food additives (Malaysia food flavour wholesale) .


So far, it is an indisputable fact that none of the food safety incidents harmful to human health in China are caused by the legal use of food additives. We should not doubt and reject food additives, but should improve the laws, regulations and standards related to food additives, strengthen monitoring and supervision, enrich the variety of food additives in our country, and use food additives reasonably and legally.
