What is the soul of the modern food industry? It's food additive. Without food additives, there may be no rapid development of the modern food industry. Seeing here, do you think it is another unscrupulous business? This is not the case, and now you can see a lot of information about the health risks of food additives through various news channels. What is the relationship between food additives and food? Today, let's take a look at the truth and misunderstanding of sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP in food additives.

Food grade sodium hexametaphosphate is mainly a quality improver in food ingredients and added to food for the needs of antiseptic and processing techniques. The biggest misunderstanding is that illegal addition and excessive addition are regarded as routine use.

So what is the truth about food grade sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP used in additives?

First of all, it can be determined that food-grade sodium hexametaphosphate is included in the list of national food additives, and it is only through the various toxicological evaluation procedures that the recipe is safely entered.

Secondly, sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP is used in different foods. The range and amount of use are different due to different uses. For example, for canned foods, fruit juice (fruity) beverages, and vegetable protein drinks, the maximum usage is 1.0g/kg ; Aquatic products, dairy products, poultry products, meat products, ice cream, instant noodles, the maximum usage is 5.0g/kg. Therefore, no matter what kind of food is used, it must be added in strict accordance with the relevant dosage and range of national food additives.

The last thing we want to say is that food grade sodium hexametaphosphate/SHMP is not as terrible as the media says. Under reasonable limits, it is a class of substances that make food more delicious, more beautiful, and also make food safer. When buying food, choose products made by big factories and refuse to buy "Three no Food". Reasonable food additives can let everyone enjoy the taste enjoyment brought by the modern food industry.
