Continuous fryer: There are three major misunderstandings about food additives
Myth 1: "No food additives" and "no preservatives" are assured
"Food without preservatives" and food additives must be safe, right?" Food experts replied in the negative. It is said that some foods are labeled as "preservative-free" because such foods do not need to use preservatives, such as some high-sugar and high-salt foods, which have the effect of inhibiting microorganisms due to their high sugar and high salt properties.
Myth 2: Synthesis is harmful, and natural equals safety
Ms. Wong, a citizen, admitted that when she saw a slogan on the food with "no artificial colouring", she usually felt relieved and thought that it was harmless because it had no added colouring. Food experts point out that people generally feel more secure about natural colors than synthetic ones, so some businesses have taken advantage of this to advertise "no artificial colors". In fact, as long as the synthetic colorants approved for use in accordance with the regulations, they will not bring health hazards.
Myth 3: You can use it at will if you meet the standards
According to the staff of the industrial and commercial department, although the food additives used in accordance with the standards are not harmful to health, they do not advocate the consumption of processed foods containing additives as they like.
