However, in people's daily food, except natural vegetables fruit, the food processed basically contains a certain amount of food additive.

For example, the softer and fragranter and sweeter and compounding the ice cream of the taste, the more additive is, some are up to 20 kinds; Marshmallow, chocolate might contain caramel, the intersection of beet beetroot and red, beta carotene, lure red, the intersection of sunset and a large amount of pigment such as being yellow; Modulate milk, add thickening agent, lactic acid fungus beverage due to the intersection of Cara and glue. Relevant expert say consumer pursue kinder, more changeable mouthfeel, want, use food additive inevitably, " it can improve quality such as the colour, fragrance and taste of the food effectively, let the food taste more delicious " . Food additive is not only the food " WU-MART " ,And " Cheap " . The reporter has compared with three kinds of sweet-sour plum juice beverages, includes more additive quantity, there are less additive compositions, indicate the products not including additive, the price is increased progressively by 0.3 yuan - 1 yuan sequentially; Compare with two kinds of hot pot footing, it is about 4 yuans that the products of additive with much content are marked down than the products with less additive content; Two equal canned pork luncheon meat of weight, additive content many to differ by 10 yuan with the intersection of additive and the intersection of content and little price unexpectedly. There is Japan " The god of food additive " Fitting department of title say frankly for trade company, food additive oldest enticement for cheap cost. According to him, in Japan, one uses the manufacturer made the burger of a large number of food additive, build a building by the profit of this kind of goods alone. According to the stipulations of " safety law of the People's Republic of China food ", food additive means " in order to improve food quality and colour, fragrance and taste, and add the synthetic or natural material of chemistry in the food for need of the antiseptic and preparation method " . At present, food additive of our country has 23 classifications, more than 2000 varieties. "Without food additive, there is no modern food processing industries. It uses food additive to be safe while being legal, mean food additive spend many well. " Food additive honorary chairman of employer's organization Peng RuiYan in Shanghai points out. Abuse the trouble got into [Making course that the department of fitting department describes a kind of burger in book of " truth revealed secrets of food " like this of incident ] - -A small amount of meat breaks to pieces and joins " The textured vegetable protein " Soybean albumen, make soft feeling out; Adding a large amount of beef extract, chemical seasoning,etc. increases taste; Lard, process the starch to make the mouthfeel slip tenderly; Sticking pharmaceutical, emulsifier makes the food shape fix; In addition, colorant agent lets the color be goodlooking, preservative, PH adjusted pharmaceuticals to lengthen quality guarantee period, antioxidant prevents fading; The ones that water the chemical seasoning and make " Imitate dressings " With " imitate and flavour the tomato ketchup " . In this way, the meat originally of no use breaks to pieces, after adding twenty or thirty kinds of additive, have become the one well received by children " The food " . It is introduced, use food additive to mainly have three kinds of situations in violation of rules and regulations: Out-of-range use is extremely use with a limit on quantity, and food additive is off quality. Relevant experts analyze, at present, it is of common occurrence to disobey the rule and use the behavior of food additive in our country's food processing, its out-of-range, ultra dosage uses food additive to mainly have four purposes: First, conceal the defect of the food preparation method; Second, conceal the defect of food raw materials, if use the inferior raw materials, the peculiar smell, color problem will exist, the manufacturer will often be excessive to use pigment, colorant agent, edulcorant, conceal the defect; Third, conceal and reduce the deficiency which eats the cost of material such as after the milk waters, the milk and water will be divided layer, producers will use thickening agent in order to guarantee the stability of food, add the excessive essence and increase the taste of milk product again in a large amount; Fourth, conceal the changing badly of food. "Most food additive may nutrition, but absolutely not all harmful, really a terrible one is the abuse of additive. " It say could use food additive country without mincing words one person food enterprise administrator, scope of application and consumption,etc. regulations clear, so long as enterprises use food additive correctly according to the national standard strictly, will not cause danger to the health. Then, is additive a harmful substance? Institute's spices and essence technology and project institute's professor, Deputy Secretary-general of employer's organization Ji HeLi of food additive in Shanghai of the application technology in Shanghai think, food additive coinciding with food industry is in the quilt " Devilize " . "Add the trouble that the chemical garniture gets into illegally, make consumers unable to clarify that add the difference with legal food additive illegally. " Food and biological engineering institute's researcher Sun WenJing of university of Jiangsu were food additive on the media a few days ago " Call for redressing a grievance " . He thinks, causes consumer's panic additive incident, mostly from To people in order to use the chemical garniture to cause improperly and in violation of rules and regulations. Who comes to borrow consumers a pair of insight? [The incident ] on December 23, the media exposes wine of Changli county of Hebei and makes the fake, in fact has no " wine " of low price of some grape original juice ,Through concocting " The pigment of alcohol " ,Stick false label, change one's identity suddenly, become famous wine, enter market, can earn dozens of even profit of hundreds of times. What is interesting is, for making the behavior of the false wine, the local related departments have supervision measures, all control the lens installing in the workshops of many grapes wine factory. But in many breweries, it became " furnish " that these supervised the lens . "As to food additive various in style, most consumers are unable to understand what additive can be eaten without worries. So, should be known the duty that the supervision department of relevant information undertakes ' eliminates the false and retains the true '. " Relevant experts say. It is introduced, on June 1 this year, " food additive produces and supervises and manages the regulation " to begin to implement, require food enterprises to show additive composition and consumption clearly in food packing clearly, this has facilitated market surpervision, it is a right of being in know of safeguarding consumers too. But this kind " Announcement " Prevent the trade company from abusing the impulse of additive effectively, OK? Reporter's investigation was found, although a lot of trade companies have marked the food additive composition according to the national regulation, but not indicated the dosage that all kinds of additive uses; Some trade companies mark the composition which belongs to food additive in eating the material classification, obscure additive concept; But some in bulk food go on to additive " fuzzy to punish " ,Only mark a few kinds of compositions briefly or save the batching column simply. At present, national relevant regulations mainly limit large-scale manufacturing enterprise, , make live, the food with smaller output but to not packing in unison, supervise and still show weakly. The reporter finds while visiting several bake houses of Beijing, nearly no bread makes to master worker and knows the accurate upper limit of additive in the bread is made. A master worker of bake house says, he mainly depends on the experience, " regards implementation of taste as the standard " . It is reported, the control over food additive of our country is very strict, begin from the eighties of last century, set up corresponding the intersection of management and regulation progressively, enable production, circulation and use of food additive,etc. there are laws to abide by. But relevant experts think, depend on " chasing the profit " Enterprises contain by oneself unrealistically. "The related departments should supervise strictly in accordance with the law, can't,etc. ' someone reports ' or investigate and prosecute after going wrong, it was probably late at that time. " The expert says. Staff reporter Zheng Li
