The National Health Commission held a press conference on June 27 to introduce the progress and achievements of food safety and nutritional health since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. At the meeting, Li Ning, director of the national food safety risk assessment center, introduced that our country has adopted a strict examination and approval management system for the use of food additives. Only when the technology is really necessary and the risk assessment is conducted, can safe and reliable food additives be approved for use. Even if the safety is guaranteed and there is no process necessity, it will not be approved for use. In addition, the national food safety risk assessment center has strict regulations on which foods each food additive can be used in and how much it can be used. There are also strict requirements for the management and identification of food additives and the production license of food additives. Therefore, as long as the food additives comply with the provisions of the standard, they are used in accordance with the scope and amount of use of the standard, and the food additives are safe. Some consumers worry about whether eating a variety of foods and containing the same food additive will bring extra burden to the body. The national food safety risk assessment center has taken this situation into full consideration when formulating the use range and dosage of each food additive in food, that is, consumers may consume multiple foods a day and contain the same additive, that is, the use of one food additive in multiple foods has been guaranteed when formulating the food additive standards. Therefore, as long as the manufacturer uses the food additives in strict accordance with the standards of food additives, and the food is qualified, there is no need for consumers to worry about the same additive in a variety of foods one day. This additive has an additional burden on health, etc. Of course, it is suggested that consumers should have a reasonable diet pattern, balance the diet, and eat healthier and more nutritious according to the dietary pattern recommended by the dietary guidelines for Chinese residents.
