To properly prevent the hazards of food additives:
1. When shopping in the supermarket, you must develop the habit of turning over and looking at the "back". Try to buy food with less additives.
2. Choose low-processed foods. When buying food, try to choose low-process food. The higher the processing degree, the more additives. Don’t forget that the stronger the light, the deeper the shadow.
3. Eat after you "know" it. I hope you will eat after knowing what kind of additives are contained in food.
4. Don't go straight to the bargain. There is a reason for the bargain. Behind the price war, there are food processors working in secret.
5. Have the spirit of "simple doubt". "Why is the color of this menta roe so beautiful?" "Why is this hamburger so cheap?" With the spirit of "simple doubt", when choosing processed foods, the truth will naturally appear.
Misunderstanding in use
Another major factor contributing to the chaos in the food additive industry is the misunderstanding of the use of food additives by companies producing and using food additives.
Nowadays, many food additive production users mistakenly believe that as long as the food additives are used in accordance with the corresponding scope of use and usage in the GB 2760 and other standard announcements, everything will be fine. This understanding is too one-sided.
For example, the hotly-discussed incident of "Adding Roubao King Zhongwang to Braised Pork", at first glance, the product ingredients of "Robobao King Zhongwang", the main ingredients of methylcyclopentenolone and ethyl maltol are both It is a food spice approved for use in China. But in terms of the cooking process of braised pork, if the company purchases qualified meat that fully meets the production requirements, under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to add flavor, that is, there is no need to use food spices technically, so it should be as little as possible Use or not. If the company purchases unqualified meat and conceals the lack of aroma of the original meat by means such as flavoring, it is even more violating that food additives "should not cover up food spoilage" and "should not cover up the food itself or processing The principle of using food additives for quality defects in the process. What's more, some illegal merchants deceive consumers by adding beef flavor to change "chicken" into "beef" because food flavors are not allowed to be used in meat products other than raw and fresh meat. The act of using food flavors for the purpose of counterfeiting should be severely punished in accordance with the law.
For another example, in the GB 2760-2011 standard, food additives such as sodium tripolyphosphate and other phosphates are allowed to be used in compound seasonings. The main function of tripolyphosphate is a moisture retention agent. If it is used in compound seasonings If the main purpose is to maintain moisture for the downstream industry during meat pickling and seasoning, it should be considered that the tripolyphosphate does not act as a food additive to the solid seasoning product itself, and there is no need to use the seasoning product. , Should be removed from the recipe.
Therefore, the production and users of food additives must strictly grasp and correctly understand the principles of use of food additives, have a thorough understanding of the characteristics of food additives that are allowed to be used, and combine their own product process requirements, and never use food additives that are not technically necessary.
