Judging from consumers' worries about food, some foods in China do have big problems.
Second, food additives have become common. There are more than 2,400 kinds of food additives in China, and there are countless illegally added products without the approval of relevant departments. These things can change the taste, color and shape of food and extend the shelf life. At present, China's agricultural production mainly relies on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, oxytocin, ripening agents and other items to increase production and speed up ripening time. To a great extent, this makes consumers more distrustful of the food they eat every day, and is also skeptical of many food production enterprises. Some time ago, the problem of fast-growing chickens was exposed, which caused widespread concern. Many pigs, cows, sheep, meat, fish, shrimp and crabs we eat, including some fruits and vegetables, are fast-growing. Some farms overuse hormone products and fail to implement strict withdrawal period, which seriously endangers people's health.
Third, major food safety issues make people more alert to many major food safety incidents in recent years, and also make people more worried about food problems.
