The well-known company of cake, Hong Kong Wing Steamed Cake, has been exposed to food additivesexceeding the standard. One of the matcha cakes, Propylene Glycol, was on the blacklist of the Market Supervision Bureau for exceeding the standard.

So what kind of food additive is propylene glycol? We usually eat food in the middle, the taste is very tender, but in the industrialized or corporate production in the middle, it is faced with the problem of how to maintain a good taste of food. Propylene glycol, it is a good moisturizer, can be used as candy, bread, meat moisturizing soft, but also can be used as preservative .

We're getting to the point where we understand how some of those really soft-looking cake foods stay fresh? That's with the addition of these chemical additives.

In our country it is stated that propylene glycol can be used in pastries, but the maximum use is three grams per kilogram.

Propylene glycol can be poisonous if it comes into contact with the skin in large quantities. However, small amounts in contact with the skin do not have many side effects. However, exceeding the limit in the food industry can bring about effects on the body, and long-term or large doses can cause the risk of kidney disorders.

Now we rely more and more on food takeaways, or food made by companies, and there are some great flavors that we'll eat for a long time, with good taste and a high turnover rate. But we need to remember that the vast majority of takeaway food has a wide range of food additives added to it. It is best not to buy one product from one family for a long time. Because beware is certain chemical additives that can cause poisoning.

This also gives the majority of consumers a wake-up call, is to be in the contemporary industrialized production of food, the pursuit of food diversification, avoid excessive consumption of a type of single product, which leads to an excess of their own chemical triggered poisoning or affect the body!
