The factory will tell you that is it true eating foods containing sodium hexametaphosphate can cause osteoporosis
When it comes to sodium hexametaphosphate as a food additive, people will shun the idea that even though sodium hexametaphosphate is food-grade, it still has a certain amount of fluoride, which can cause chronic poisoning and skeletal fluorosis, reduce calcium in bones, and lead to osteosclerosis and osteoporosis. So today the factory wll tell you straightforwardly that sodium hexametaphosphate is the lowest standard of these substances in food grade sodium hexametaphosphate formulated by the state after a lot of animal experiments and actual conditions. As long as it is strictly in accordance with the lowest content formulated by the state, the above-mentioned toxic and side effects will not occur.
Sodium hexametaphosphate can be seen in many daily foods. It is used in meat products, fruit drinks, ice cream, beans, canned fruits and vegetables and other food processing. It can stabilize natural pigments and protect the color of food.
The addition of sodium hexametaphosphate in food processing can prevent or delay the oxidative deterioration of food in order to provide food stability and storage resistance, and also prevent the formation of potentially harmful lipid autoxides. In addition, it can also be used to prevent enzymatic browning and non-enzymatic browning of food, especially fruits and vegetables, which are of certain significance for food preservation.
Sodium hexametaphosphate as a preservative can prevent food spoilage caused by microorganisms, prolong the shelf life of food, and prevent food poisoning caused by microbial contamination. Sodium hexametaphosphate, as a kind of food additive, can be used in many foods. It not only preserves the delicacy of food, but also prolongs the use time of food. Generally 0.3-0.5%, 0.9% in cheese, 0.3% in meat, 0.5% in milk powder, butter powder, frozen fish and shrimp, and 0.2% in condensed milk and beverage.
There is no need for the public to talk about the discoloration of food additives. What needs to be severely cracked down on is illegal additives in food. What needs to be regulated urgently is the production and use of food additives. Chongqing Chuandong Chemical is licensed to produce food additives. All the food additives produced are within the scope of national regulations, with stable quality and low content of heavy metals.
