Food additives rely on these guarantees for safety

The following is our most concerned about the issue of food additives in the end is safe? In fact, the safety of food additives itself is relatively high because the use of uniform food additive safety assessment methods and standards throughout the world is a dynamic, real-time regulation of its management.

Authoritative Codex Committee and Evaluation Center: FAO and WHO of the United Nations co-founded a Codex Alimentarius Commission to harmonize food laws and technical standards in various countries to improve the overall food quality of the world. Under the Codex Alimentarius Commission, a Codex Committee on Food Additives has been established to unify the specifications and standards for food additives and harmonize the experiment and evaluation methods. The Chinese government entrusts its management including the People's Republic of China Health Planning Commission, the State Food and Drug Administration, and the assessment of its safety to the Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment.

Strict Toxicity Assurance to Ensure Safety: How Does the Safety Assessment of Food Additives Work? Our country has a unified food safety toxicity assessment procedure and method, which is revised according to the provisions of the UN Codex Alimentarius Commission. There are about four stages of toxicity assessment: acute toxicity test, hereditary toxicity test, subchronic toxicity test, chronic toxicity test, and after four tests, there is indeed no toxicity to evaluate the application as a food additive. Through these four trials, one of the largest no-action doses was determined, no ingestion toxicity, and a maximum daily intake without any toxic manifestations. In addition, not everyone, any business can produce food additives, to its technical and overall management of the regulation and assessment, and only through the assessment, after issuing permits before they can produce food additives.

Continue to introduce new national standard: With the progress of science, people's understanding of things and research are also in-depth, food additives are not included once it will not change, included in the national standard 2760 in the food additives, new varieties will increase , Some food additives will increase the scope of the new use, there will be withdrawal of some varieties of the situation.
