What is food additive and can it be eaten?

DATA: 2019-06-03  HITS:   CLASS: Technical Knowledge

Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, there are more and more various snacks on the market, and additives are essential because the media has reported many food accidents. When it comes to food containing additives, citizens are very anxious. So, what exactly are food additives? Will it harm human health?

Food additives are artificial compounds or natural substances extracted from plants and animals that are used to improve the color and taste of food and extend its shelf life. Although people show a strong aversion to food additives, the fact is that food additives have entered thousands of households and are inseparable from people's lives. I casually picked up a piece of food, and a large part of the ingredients listed in the food ingredient column are food additives, such as bleach, coloring agents, preservatives, sweeteners, and so on. Since there are so many types of food additives in food, does it mean that the food cannot be purchased and consumed?




The production of food additives ultimately aims to meet the needs of people's production and daily life. In daily life, the food we produce has significant defects in processing and storage due to the limitations of its characteristics. At this point, it is necessary to artificially add certain specific additives to the food to help us better process it.
