What is the hottest topic recently? That must be "Hex Technology" and its "technology and ruthlessness"! But in fact, I noticed this topic very early. The reason why I didn’t speak up so early is because I don’t think there is much need to discuss this matter. Because when I first saw something similar, I felt that it was impossible to completely eliminate food additives in this world!
But as this topic becomes more and more popular, more and more people are involved, and things feel a little out of control. It seems that people have begun to talk about the feeling of "additive color change" now!
First of all, I want to declare: As an ordinary person, I also care more about whether the food I eat contains some bad things, and I also like those purely natural things!
"Good quality and low price" is difficult to achieve
I can't help but want to ask if we can really reject food additives completely? A bottle of ordinary soy sauce using additives is sold for seven yuan in supermarkets. However, if there is a bottle of soy sauce without any additives at this time, and it is sold for 17, 27, or 37 yuan, would you buy it without hesitation?
In fact, sometimes the products we want to buy do not value their "good quality" but their "low price". We all know that there are no good products for cheap goods, and we know that cheap things are not as good as expensive things, but for some demand, or to spend less money, we would rather believe that the things we buy at a cheap price are not only "inexpensive" but also "good quality".
In response to this psychology, there will be many food manufacturers to produce things with various additives added. So, from a certain perspective, it is ordinary people like us who prompted enterprises to produce things with food additives.
This actually reminds me of the incident of "guard harming farmers". In fact, if our food production companies only produce "0-add" products, the final result may be that we ordinary people can't afford it! Isn’t this the case for a certain juice brand? Do you buy it in the end?
Look at food additives rationally
I remember when I was very young, there was a shop selling buns and steamed buns in my village. I don’t know when, but others said that the steamed buns he sold were added with laundry detergent.
So I wondered what the purpose of adding washing powder to the steamed buns is? What made me even more puzzled was that although everyone spread this, many people still bought his steamed buns and buns, and were not affected by rumors at all.
Later I found out that everyone didn't care about this because no one had anything to do because they ate their food. But it is also obvious that putting laundry detergent into steamed buns and buns is nonsense!
may have seen this and don’t know what I want to express. Then I will explain it plainly, that is - at least not at the moment... It is a bit absolute to say that there is no possibility, that is - at least not many people are having trouble with foods with food additives that meet national standards !
Of course, we all know those famous cases in history, and I will not describe the things that exceed the standard! There is nothing to argue about!
In other words, as long as the dosage of food additives is within the national standard, it is legal! How to view controversial
The most controversial issue at present is the "double standard" and dosage.
First of all, let’s talk about the “double standard” problem. Many people say that the same product will have no additives when sold abroad. However, I am in China and have no friends abroad, so I cannot discuss this matter.However, I can’t help but want to ask, are a product with food additives and a product without food additives still the same product? Is the price the same?
Then there is the dosage issue. Many people say that the food additives of a product meet the national standards, but if I eat a lot of things with food additives, will the food additives in my body still meet the standards at this time?
I don’t think there is an absolute answer to this question, because as long as you eat food additives, no matter the dosage, as long as you reach a certain amount, it will definitely exceed the standard! Just like our bodies contain iron elements, there is no problem, but when you chew the iron pot, you must be the one who gets hurt!
Of course, this is just a joke. That is, if you want something that has no food additives at all, go find it! If you look closely, you won’t be able to find it!
Seeing this, you might think I want to legitimize food additives and "whitewash"? No! I'm helpless! Because we cannot live without food additives now, because once we leave food additives, our cost of living will be greatly increased. For example, for example, in Hefei, Anhui, the more famous type of chicken is called "Feixi Laoheen", and the meat is delicious! Ordinary chickens that eat feed on captives can buy one for a few dozen yuan in the market, but if you buy one of them, the price is estimated to be nearly 300 yuan! The reason is that the "Feixi Old Hen" are all authentic " walk-through chicken "! Because the growth cycle is long and the insects eaten in the ground are all eaten, the price is naturally higher than that of ordinary chickens!
is biased by public opinion
So I think we should look at food additives rationally, but now most of the people I see say is not very rational, and I think the direction of everyone’s discussion has gone off the line!
What does it mean to go off the wrong way? During this food additive storm, some things happened, such as "0 Add" written on some food packaging, but after looking at the ingredients list, there are still many food additives. Or some foods produce foods that are completely synthesized with additives under the slogan of health and good for children. I think we should be more concerned about these things, right?
The most helpless thing we are is that when we deliberately look for some unadditive food or things that are beneficial to the body, we still buy a bunch of additives.
Food companies should look upward
Also, some companies use inferior additives, or have been eliminated abroad but are still in use in China, which is also a question worth discussing.
is the bottom line issue. National standards are the bottom line. Those companies that are wandering on the bottom line are also the objects we need to supervise! Although the national standard is the bottom line, there is no upper limit on the safety and quality of food!
What enterprises should do is not just thinking about doing things according to the bottom line, but thinking about ways to look upward, making themselves better than the bottom line, and making something truly good and cheap! As a food company, don't stay where you are!
In addition, supervision is also very important! Although most food additives are allowed to be added, many times these food additives may not be able to grasp the amount in the hands of some unprofessional people. Therefore, this issue also needs to be taken seriously!
Conclusion
Finally, what I want to say is that food additives themselves are not scary and not that bad! But everything is done by man! As a normal person, you know that food additives are not a good thing, but there is no need to demonize this thing.
Although there are many rumors about food additives at present, I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing. This event of food additives may have a promoting effect on my country's food industry, promote our food manufacturers to pay attention to food safety, and produce products that are more in line with our food safety requirements.
No matter what happens, we should understand what we should do and work hard to make progress for it, rather than just explaining without doing anything!
