Can industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate be used as food additive?
In the production process, food grade sodium hexametaphosphate is used as an additive in many foods. No matter it is crispy biscuits, soft cakes, or sweet and sour candies, additives are inseparable. But food additives are not natural ingredients after all. Sodium hexametaphosphate, which is used and added as a food additive, must be used in strict accordance with the national food additive standards.
Food grade sodium hexametaphosphate is a natural or chemically synthesized substance added to food in order to improve food quality and ensure the preservation of food during transportation and storage. If these substances are added in strict accordance with the standards promulgated by the state, these substances added to improve the quality of food will not cause harm to the human body. But if the situation is the opposite, it will become an invisible killer of human health.
It should be pointed out that there are still industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate on the market that cannot be used in food. Industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate is used in printing and dyeing, water softening, refractory and other industries. The production site, raw materials, transportation, etc. cannot meet food-related standards. Food grade sodium hexametaphosphate is produced using thermal food grade phosphoric acid and soda ash as raw materials, so that indicators such as heavy metals and impurities can meet the requirements of food additives.
When purchasing food grade sodium hexametaphosphate, the strict audit of the manufacturer and on-site is required. The food grade sodium hexametaphosphate produced by Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group is certified and licensed for food production. It is a quality improver commonly used in food additives and can guarantee the quality of the product.
