Adult 1 days eat into photos additive Abuse phenomenon pretty serious

China cew has been

Enlarge without authorization for use of food additives range, the excessive use of food additives, illegal add non-food substances or itself quality to have a problem of food additive, etc, has become the current position of the three use of food additives

Food additives, can not add?

Every adult day probably eat into photos additive

Food additive is meant to make food more security, improve quality and prolong conservancy period; Non-food additive substance does not belong to additives

There are colorants, jelly kimchi have antiseptic; An ice cream contains 16 kinds of food additives, a bag of instant noodles and 14 kind of... Nearly 90% of food contains additive, and life in "food additive" has more than 2,000. Either directly or indirectly, to add, add, each adult around to eat into photos additive.

The food additives in classification of goods, including 35 species of total increase flavor enhancement, defoaming agent, leavening agents, colorants, antiseptic, etc. The food in China alone additive-free more. Such as production bread dough improver used potassium iodate.at; Production biscuits to join leavening agents sulfite or sodium metabisulphite; Instant noodles and antioxidant add preservatives; Meat production of nitrite hair color agent; Adding antioxidants such as oil.

"Haziness drop sweet, then become fresh soup", "don't cook, whitewater can also add into chilli oil", these are food additives "credit". The Chinese CDC food and nutrition have associate researcher zhang Cambodia, said food additive is wave to improve food quality and prolong food storage life, facilitate food processing a type of chemical synthesis or natural substances. Purpose is to improve food color, fragrance, taste, and anti-corrosion and satisfy the need of machining process.

In many cases, no food additive makes food less safe. Zhang Cambodia, if the antiseptic wave said, how many things can be cancelled in shelves kept? Instant noodles for two kept not will spoil, jelly can't eat.

April 23, food safety committee office under the state council announced the already found in food and feed 151 kind of illegal additive substance list that includes 47 possibility in foods "illegal add of non-food matter" "easy to abuse and 22 kinds of food additive". Zhang Cambodia, long-term since, wave said some units and individuals to confuse the food additives and non-food physical boundaries, will add to the food of non-food substances such as malachite green, Sudan red etc are called additives, will add non-food material cause food safety accidents attributed to abuse of food additives, deepened public on food additives misunderstandings.

Education experts, ministry of health ZhaoLin PLA nutrition division, said professor analysis quest for commercial interests, the abuse of food additive is quite serious. Even some enterprise the illegal use of non-food chemical additive, 2008 melamine event is demonstrated.

Food additive safety know need to process

At present legal food additive through safety evaluation, the excessive use of can cause irreversible damage; Unidentified "additives" more harm

May 1st, health banned use flour whitening agent. Flour the dispute to stop using agent of that process, from one side, people on food additives safety knowledge is a process.

Zhang Cambodia, said that the current wave of domestic and foreign are allowed to use of food additives. Our country and international food codex alimentarius commission, and the management measures in developed countries, the basic consensus is perfected food additive supervision and management and safety evaluation system. Included in our national standard of food additives, all the safety evaluation, and through the evaluation committee for national food safety standards on food additives to the social public scrutiny, and all relevant departments for comments, and ensure that its technology necessity and security.

But already into national standards of food additives if excessive use, also to people create irreversible damage. With the most common additives and ammonium nitrate, for example, and ammonium nitrate is often used in meat production of additive and enter the body and amine, as long as the combination, can be proposed amine. If excessive use, may cause cancer outcomes.

Expert says, the United States, for example, a kind of food additive in approved after use, every years later, its safety will be to reassess and released. If in 1947 and 1977 years often eat American beef, will be exposed to high levels of sex hormones diethyl sterols, it as feed additives application history in the United States for 30 years. Decades later, diethyl sterols has proved to have carcinogenicity the U.S. food and drug administration so explicitly banned the substance.

ZhaoLin think, food additives in human history has never met "new eyewinker" on the human body are harmful, take years, decades even generations long-term tracking, especially a variety of additives in the human body function, the more needs a lot further researches and toxicity tests. A mass of research indicate that the current many unexplained modern disease are related with chemical food additives.

Excessive use of legitimate food additives than more harmful is currently used in the food, some of the additive, and without safety evaluation, is only a "organism laboratory studies of chemical products unknown,". With lenobuterol hydrochloride as a representative of "pure" are examples, lean lean fine "actually" pest ".

Food additive scientific and reasonable application is very complex

To add don't add don't add, had to add to also want to add less as far as possible

At present, without authorization, expand the use of food additives, excessive use of food additives scope, illegal add non-food substances or itself quality to have a problem of food additives, food additive, and is currently the three main problems.

To this, professor of the China university of political WuJingMing analysis thinks: laws, regulations lag, the existing laws and regulations cannot cover the whole food chain; Departments responsibility is not clear, the current food safety monitoring system adopt subsection management mode, involving agriculture, health, quality inspection, industry and commerce and so on, more than 10 departments; Inspection standard lag is not complete, foreign technology standard revision cycle is generally 3 to 5 years, our country has many belong to "service" for over 10 years. This is often caused by food additive of unsolved important reasons.

Zhang Cambodia, said before, bread wave will join the dough improver, leavening agents, moisturizing and many other chemical additives, but some germans now want to eat no chemical additives "grandmother's bread". For the protection of consumers' right to know, the eu regulation in food labels, according to the composition, weight to order list all constituents, and does not allow consumers to product attributes. Misunderstandings.

ZhaoLin puts forward, the chemical additives in food science, reasonable application is a very complicated knowledge; The food industry is moral industry, also conscience engineering. Use of food additives should use "negative", can add don't add not to add, had to add to also want to add less as far as possible. Food additive industries should from developing chemicals mainly with natural product is given priority to, to walk road of ecological economy.

The new increase food additive varieties, should hold a consumer hearing system. WuJingMing thinks, what to add jobs, consumer should have the right to know, fully transparent proposal to set up the food additives safety risk assessment system. Meanwhile set up responsibility fall for mechanism. If the food safety field because of food additives to appear safety accidents, should be responsible for accountability.

According to feed, animal drinking water and the additive substance livestock aquaculture, China agriculture university animal science and technology institute professor qiao shi hometown accept reporter worst-kept - antibiotics off-limits feed is very urgent

Feed additive meet animal nutrition demand, improving animal health level

Reporter: what kind of material can be added to the feed, animal drinking water and livestock and poultry aquaculture?

Qiao shi hometown: feed is the important down-stream livestock aquaculture, accounting for 60% of the production cost -- 80%. As with people, the growth of animals need energy, proteins, amino acids, the minerals, trace elements, vitamin etc nutrients, requires not only these nutrients must have the proper amount and require a proper proportion.

Only some form of nutrients to additive added to feed, can meet the needs of animals can be made a nutritional balance, the feed. This appeared feed additives. Our country agriculture permitted to feed additive have amino acids, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzyme preparation, feeding microbial wait 13 kinds. Foreign is this situation. Animals in drinking water added material basically is drugs, including antibiotics and herbs, and vitamins, the main purpose is to health and cure diseases.

Generally speaking, animal feed, including animals use additives in drinking water, one is the purpose of animal nutrition needs; meet 2 it is the improvement of animal feed on utilization efficiency, save food, such as enzyme preparation; Three is to improve the health level of the animals, such as microorganisms additives; The fourth is to improve the quality of feed itself, such as fungicide, etc.

Feed additive must be moderate, including antibiotics is closely related with the health of people

Reporter: what will these additives side effects? Qiao shi hometown: in the animal nutrition, animal feed additives material into nutritional additives and of nonnutritive additives. In nutritional supplements, copper, zinc and other trace elements excess add could lead to soil microelement balance disorders, our country agriculture department has stipulated the feed trace elements added limits. Animals are like people, all edible matter have number of relationship. Such as selenium, is a very important nutrients, lack of will get sick, but many will be poisoned. In many areas are selenium deficiency, so selenium is animal feed must add substances, and our country to feed the add dose selenium have strict regulations.

Of nonnutritive additive type is more, including enzyme preparation, feeding microbes, antibiotics (drug additive) improving animal health, improving feed additives, feed nutrient utilization flavoring, adhesives, antioxidants, fungicide to improve the quality of feed additives.

These additives, compared with the health of people close are antibiotics, excessive add may lead to drug residues, will likely also bacteria resistant gene transfer to the drug-resistant strains, this also is international concern. Many countries in the world have to forage antibiotics made strict rules. But banned the use of antibiotics in feed also need time.

Reporter: why should in feed add antibiotics?

Qiao shi hometown: feed usually refers to add antibiotics in adding to feed promoting growth of animals antibiotics. Add antibiotics can promote feed animals to grow this phenomenon is American scientists discovered in 1945, later, antibiotics in the world will gradually widely used in feed. Academically, we will use the antibiotic called "in feed forage antibiotics." Later, the found in feed antibiotic use and bacterial resistance (bacteria resistant bacteria for is the kind of one or more of the antibiotics, such as super bacteria resistant to antibiotic resistance is very strong bacteria) from a relationship, so the union from 2006, Japan from 2008 banned all the use of antibiotics in feed. Some countries, like the United States to limit some antibiotics used for feed additive, China's ministry of agriculture in feed currently allow use of antibiotic drug additive has 24.

In recent years many animal food safety accidents caused by for illegal additives

Reporter: illegal additives why be abused?

Qiao shi hometown: animal products production should pass varieties, farming construction, feed nutrition, raising management, disease prevention and control, transportation and slaughtering and processing and many other links. In fact, our country for can be added material, have relatively strict amount of regulation. Now bring great harm to abuse and actually illegal additives. Such as lenobuterol hydrochloride, lake dopamine etc lean meat fine kind material, melamine belong to illegal additives.

Illegal additives for abuse it comes down to is the pursuit of economic interests, I think basically has five reasons:

First, our families including farmers in the animal breeding, small business, large and medium-sized enterprise, at present, households and small businesses are pigs, cows and beef cattle breeding subject, yield 70% above, and the illegal additives DouShouZhe and pervasive, this to the security supervision caused very big difficulty; Second, our breeding is a very fragile industry, feed raw materials, transportation costs rising, the market price fluctuations big; and Third, the purchase and sales live poultry intermediate links many, some illegal additive is in transportation and sales occurred in the process; Fourth, breeding areas need to improve jobholders; Fifth, very important thing is the lack of social responsibility, some large enterprises have the food safety accidents happened is the highlight at this point. But consumers to identify these additives is difficult, to identify these, it need nutrition knowledge.

Completely solve the animal food security issues, must multi-pronged approach

Reporter: how to solve the animalistic food safety problems?

Qiao shi hometown: our animal food safety problems actual including number safety and quality safety. Quantity safety is the supply and demand balance. Quality security, our country to feed and animal in drinking water additive detection technology also strengthened the study. Want to completely solve the animal food security issues, must from multi-pronged approach. In addition to strengthen the safety supervision outside, improve practitioners literacy and social responsibility, establishing scientific animal husbandry and aquaculture macro-control mechanism, strengthen the field of scientific research and technology development, improve the feed resources utilization, develop forage antibiotics alternative products and technologies, reduce production cost, can guarantee the birds and aquatic products supply an effective and safe.
