Jelly is not like other foods. It's just a snack, but it's useless to eat too much.

Jelly is a jelly food made of water, sugar and other main raw materials, supplemented by food additives such as thickener (carrageenan, etc.), with or without konjac powder, fruit and vegetable products, milk and dairy products, nutritional fortifier and other raw materials, and processed by sol, blending, filling, sterilization and cooling.

children and the elderly should be careful to eat jelly. Because the self-protection mechanism of children is not fully developed, and the physical function of the elderly has declined, there is a hidden danger that children under three years old or the elderly will enter the trachea or bronchus when drinking jelly.

It is suggested that children under three years old must eat under the guidance of their guardians. School-age children and the elderly eat with small spoons and chew slowly. In addition, jelly can give people a sense of fullness, and children and adolescents who eat too much at one time may affect their normal diet, so they should eat it in moderation.

Precautions for eating jelly:

1. The production of jelly is inseparable from food additives. Although they are all safe, children should not eat more, just eat 5-1 grams a day.

2. Some jellies are "fruity" jellies. There is no juice pulp in the raw materials, but fruity essence and food pigment. This kind of jelly has low nutritional value, so it is best not to eat it.

3. When picking jelly, you must look at whether the package is firm or not, and whether there is air leakage or water leakage. Don't just try to be cheap. From a nutritional point of view, children should drink more milk, eat more fruits, eat a reasonable diet, not partial eclipse, and eat as little jelly as possible.

4. Considering the rich taste, you can eat some jelly, but try not to eat too much. Children's food intake is limited. Eating too much jelly will take up children's food intake, which will make children's bodies lack enough nutritional supplement space, which is not conducive to their physical development.

5. Eating too much or eating jelly frequently will also make children accumulate too many thickeners, sweeteners, colorants and preservatives, which will endanger their health.
