The cleaner the ingredient list, the safer and healthier the food. Do you need to be careful when choosing? Some prepackaged products have been processed, but only two items are shown in the ingredient list, which makes people confused. So according to the "food production license number" and "manufacturer information" provided on the package, we made an inquiry in official website, State Administration of Market Supervision, and found some recommended snacks. . . In fact, their production license information is not available at all. According to the regulations, production enterprises must have a "food production license", and each product also needs a traceable SC code as the "identity card" of food. What does this mean? Let's experience it yourself.
One: What foods are additive-free?
The truly clean ingredient list often exists only in some primary processed foods, such as life (fruits and vegetables), dry goods and pickled foods. Without food additives, there would be no modern food industry. In fact, 97% of processed foods at home and abroad contain food additives, but it will be safe for compliant enterprises to use food additives according to the national standard. Food additives are not so terrible, there is no need to talk about them. Without additives, prepackaged foods is perishable, and it is basically difficult to maintain the 90-day shelf life. The color and appearance of food will be ugly. Food safety should be put in the first place, and you should be more cautious when encountering foods with too simple ingredient list.
Two: How should we avoid being "routine"?
1: Don't listen to the recommendation of getting traffic at will.
2. Distinguish according to the food category and judge the authenticity of the ingredient information.
3. If you encounter the food you are worried about, you can go to official website, the State Administration of Market Supervision, and check the production license according to the SC number (14 digits at the beginning of SC) or enterprise information. If not, directly ask the seller for the means of production.
4. Try to choose foods with big brands, and avoid foods with poor packaging and lack of supervision produced by small workshops. If big manufacturers violate the rules and take great risks, they will be implemented according to national standards, which is more natural protection.
Summarize! Not all ingredient lists are the cleaner the food, the safer and healthier it is!
