Food additives themselves are neither good nor evil.
Good people use them to make delicious food, bad people use them for wrongdoing.
Experts remind citizens not to panic excessively about food additives. With the upcoming national standards, the production and use of food additives will become more regulated. Of course, it is necessary to strengthen self-protection awareness and learn more about food safety knowledge , especially avoid buying foods that are overly bright in color, too strong in flavor, or have abnormal texture. However, excessive intake of foods containing excessive food additives should also be avoided. In short, as long as additives are used in appropriate amounts and consumed in moderation, it will not significantly affect our normal life.
