    Introduction: everyone is familiar with milk Most people like it very much It is not only nutritious and edible, but also has other functions such as whitening and moisturizing So, what kind of thickener is suitable for milk?

According to the investigation, thickeners are forbidden in milk As early as 2009, the Ministry of health banned the illegal addition of thickeners Although the thickener has been approved by the state for use in food, there are also some specific standards for its dosage The reason why milk is forbidden is that such use covers the quality of milk and is not conducive to consumers' consumption If the milk we buy is very thick and has been stored for a long time, the UHT milk has no appearance or slight fat floating, then we can use the food safety tester to check whether it contains thickener If it does, we need to complain to the relevant departments Is it safe to add thickener to food? Generally, thickener is a kind of food additive allowed by the state, and it will be added to foods like yoghurt on the market At present, there is no clear regulation on how much thickener to add to each kind of food However, the formula of each food should be recorded in the quality inspection department The thickener itself is not harmful Generally, it is safe, but it is not ruled out that illegal businesses use thickener too much, which will bring certain harm to human body For the sake of our health, we should learn more about food safety and learn more about food safety issues, which is very helpful for us to correctly understand food safety related issues Editor in charge: he xianrob
