Introduction: many countries are not allowed to eat food additives, so which food additives are not available? Baibai safety net will introduce you For food additives, it may be exaggerated to say that people "talk about color change", but when it is mentioned, most people will get nervous Recently, the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and Quarantine announced that since the date of the announcement, 33 kinds of products such as propyl p-hydroxybenzoate are forbidden to be produced, sold and used as food additives The announcement on which food additives are prohibited is issued in accordance with the reply letter of the Ministry of health on Relevant Issues of "standards for the use of food additives" (gb2760-2011) It not only cancels the production license application of some food additives, but also cancels the approved ones, and forbids the sales of the already produced ones From the list published at present, which food additives are not available, we have done two main tasks, namely, to eliminate the additives that are lack of process necessity or high toxicity, and to reclassify and merge the processing additives used in the food production process Among them, in addition to the substances classified into other categories, 28 kinds of additives are prohibited in food Are food additives really harmful? In fact, some food additives are harmful and some are harmless For example, flour whitening agents such as calcium peroxide and benzoyl peroxide are unnecessary They have been banned from flour production since May 1 this year; Propyl p-hydroxybenzoate and its sodium salt are preservatives Due to their high toxicity, they are also excluded from the category of food additives "Since there are less toxic preservatives to choose from, there is no need to retain them." They are mainly food nutrition enhancers and food disinfectants For example, casein phosphopeptides, which can promote the absorption of calcium, iron, zinc and other bivalent mineral nutrients, are classified into the category of fortifiers; hydrogen peroxide, which is used for equipment and packaging disinfection, is classified into the category of food disinfectants Food safety will directly affect our health If unsafe food can be detected by food safety detector, it can accurately detect whether the food is safe If you want to know more about food additives, please go to Baibai safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
