Xu Fu kee add door: Most snack foods contain antioxidants

Xu Fu kee "add door" triggered by the investigation of antioxidant heat found that most of the leisure food containing antioxidants expert refers to the use of palm oil widely, not exceeding the standard is safe recently, the domestic famous confectionery production enterprises Xu Fu is accused of adding antioxidants TBHQ, BHT, has caused many Guangzhou citizens to the food industry antioxidant use situation concern. Many netizens in the online discussion, in the focus on the daily consumption of some products additives found that most processed food ingredients in the antioxidant impressively in the column. In this respect, some netizens said very calm, some netizens are showing some panic and questioned: one is why processing food mostly contain antioxidants? Second, where does the antioxidant come from, is the enterprise illegal added? In response to these questions, the author interviewed several supermarkets in Guangzhou and found that including instant noodles, biscuits, potato chips, canned food and food ingredients and other snack foods, in its list of ingredients are labeled with antioxidants. In this respect, experts explain that this is because most snack foods are brought in using relatively inexpensive palm oil, and not just palm oil, as long as the grease will almost certainly add antioxidants. "But this does not mean that there is a safety problem in food, as long as antioxidants do not exceed the standard, is safe, can be assured to eat." "Experts say. Market research cookies, chips and cans all contain antioxidants the author yesterday visited a number of large supermarkets in Guangzhou, found that many leisure food ingredients table are labeled antioxidants. The author found that the refined edible vegetable oil contained in a famous biscuit brand contains antioxidants (322, 304, 307), but most of them only mark the refined vegetable oil, but not the oil species used and the antioxidant in the oil. A Spanish biscuit is in the ingredients: vegetable oil (palm oil), antioxidants: sodium sodium. An almond stripe (nuts) is also noted in food additives as butyl hydroxy anise ether (BHA), Ethoxyquin hydroxy toluene (BHT), both of which are antioxidants. In addition to the biscuit products, the author also found that potato chips, canned food, food ingredients and other foods in the packaging list of ingredients will be clearly marked with antioxidants. A well-known seasoning in the mother Chicken soup flavor of the ingredients, that is, refined chicken oil marked, and in the following brackets that refined Chicken oil contains antioxidant butyl hydroxy anise ether (BHA), Ethoxyquin hydroxy toluene (BHT). Food expert food as long as the oil will be brought into the antioxidant why so many kinds of snack foods and even condiments contain antioxidants? These snack foods are also a lot of food can be regarded as pastry, they are also like Xu Fu Kee is the same lawsuit, belong to illegal add? "In fact, it's not surprising that many foods are labeled as antioxidants, because it's almost certain to add antioxidants as long as they are made from grease," he said. "Jinan University Food Research Center Fu Liang in an interview with the author, because the oil in contact with air, prone to oxidation deterioration, the impact of oil consumption time and quality and safety, it is necessary to add antioxidants in the grease." For those who pointed out that Hsu Fu Kee Foods contain antioxidants, or because of the useBrought in relatively inexpensive palm oil, Fu Liang explains whether antioxidants are added, depending on the shelf life, and not on the oil species. Xu Fu Kee in this incident, repeatedly explained that the antioxidant in the product is not to add themselves, but the raw material into. Experts have explained that most leisure foods are highly likely to exist, but as consumers how to identify what is illegal to add, which is the raw material brought in, so as to identify the licit production of food? Experts told the author, the State stipulates that the maximum amount of TBHQ is 200PPM (two out of 10,000), that is, each kilogram of grease shall not exceed 0.2 grams, the maximum amount of BHT added in the gum base candy must not exceed 400PPM (four out of 10,000), in other permitted to add food should not exceed 200PPM ( Two out of 10,000). Fu Liang said that consumers if you want to buy assured food, you can refer to these values, as long as they do not exceed the standard, is the compliance, safe. Some of the industry's instant noodles contain antioxidants but not the experts also stressed, labeling foods containing antioxidants, as long as the content is in accordance with the provisions, is safe and qualified; instead, some foods do not show antioxidants, but do not mean that they do not contain, quality is higher than those marked with food. When I visited the market, I found that a well-known instant noodle brand in the ingredients of halogen sauce package after eating lard with parentheses annotated with butyl hydroxy anise ether (BHA), Ethoxyquin hydroxy toluene (BHT) and other antioxidants, while the other brand of instant noodles in the ingredients table did not appear dibutyl hydroxy toluene (BHT) and other antioxidants. But the industry told the author, instant noodles cakes are fried with palm oil, the food, cooked in palm oil, will be brought into the TBHQ and other antioxidants. Some manufacturers do not label, because antioxidants are contained in palm oil, according to national law can not be labeled. Fu Liang also said that some food companies claimed that they had not used palm oil, but peanut oil and soybeans, but in fact, palm oil in China has long been widely used in food and beverage processing industry, such as instant noodles, biscuits, mooncakes, cured meat products and so on. "Palm oil, usually used in oil enterprises will use." (Chu Chunyan/Wen)
