People put food first, and food safety first. Behind the popularity of "technology and ruthless work" is the public's concerns about food safety. In order to comfort the majority of "foodies" PTSD, today we will talk about food safety.
Food additives, "Sin will not die"
According to the national food safety standards in my country, food additives are natural or artificially synthesized substances added to food to improve food flavor, as well as to prevent and keep fresh. Before entering the market, food additives will undergo strict risk assessment and determine that they are safe for the human body within the maximum use or maximum residual amount.
Why do people think food additives are harmful when they hear it? To a large extent, food additives are confusing them with illegal additives. my country has strict regulations on the production of food additives. The use must follow the five principles of :
1. It should not cause any health hazards to the human body. It should not cover up food spoilage and spoilage in the process. It should not cover up food additives for the purpose of adulteration, adulteration, or forgery. It should not reduce the nutritional value of food additives. It should not reduce the amount of use in food as much as possible on the premise of achieving the expected results. The country has also formulated the "National Standards for Food Safety Food Additives Use" (GB2760) to standardize the use of food additives. Anyone that is not included in this standard, such as melamine , Sudan Red , clenbuterol , protein essence .... are all illegal additives.
In addition to paying attention to the food additives themselves, if we want to buy and eat safely, we must also learn to select qualified and safe products from thousands of foods.
What should you pay attention to when purchasing food?
tag for food packaging. is actually its "id card" and is also a good helper to help us distinguish the quality of the product. In addition to paying attention to the production date, shelf life, storage conditions, and other logos, the following content needs to be observed more.
Follow the ingredients list
According to national regulations, there are three principles for labeling of the ingredients list: decreasing arrangement, decreasing all raw materials and food additives must be marked. If the food additives are in a high position, even in front of their main raw materials (such as milk and water), it means that the food additives are relatively high and you should carefully choose whether to buy them.
Follow "Nutrition Component Table"
"1+4" means that at least "energy" and 4 core nutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrate , sodium) should be marked in the nutritional composition table and their percentage of NRV. These four nutrients are closely related to human health. Deficiency of intake can cause malnutrition, while excessive intake can lead to obesity and chronic diseases.
Reject anxiety, healthy diet
In the final analysis, as long as food additives meet national standards, moderate consumption will not have much impact on physical health, so there is no need to panic too much. So how can we effectively avoid excessive intake of food additives in daily life?
Do not eat partially or overeating
Balanced eating and overeating will lead to excessive intake of food additives for single or multiple foods.
Reduce the number of times you go out
In order to pursue the color and taste of dishes, the irregular catering industry will add too much food additives, or even illegal additives to the food. Therefore, it is best for everyone to buy raw materials and make them home, so it is safer and more secure.
Try to choose original food products
Choose more original foods and eat less processed foods, which can greatly reduce the chance of eating food additives. At the same time, some snacks are also the same choice. Foods with multiple flavors will inevitably add a variety of additives, and the original flavors are relatively less.
Now more and more people are beginning to pay attention to food safety issues. It can be seen that everyone's health awareness is constantly improving. In addition to paying attention to health and safety in all aspects of the body, we must also learn to transfer future health risks and equip appropriate health insurance in advance. To a certain extent, it can alleviate the economic pressure caused by diseases and prevent poverty caused by illness and relapse from illness. Only with economic support in an emergency can you be more confident!
