Is your food safe without adding sodium hexametaphosphate? The manufacturer tells you

 For ordinary consumers, it may be difficult to see the variety of food additives. Therefore, when choosing and purchasing processed food, there is a relatively simple and safe way, that is, we must pay attention to the selection of all kinds of food produced by regular manufacturers. Because regular manufacturers use additives in strict accordance with national regulations to regulate their production and consumption, as well as the purchase of food additives are very strict. So the food you see contains sodium hexametaphosphate is not necessarily a bad thing.

For example, those preserved fruits that have been kept in supermarkets for a long time, those soy sauces and salted vegetables, without the help of two "natural preservatives" of sugar and salt, will be quickly destroyed by bacteria and mold. But now people all know that eating too much salt and sugar is not good for health. So low-sugar preserved fruits and low-salt pickles have to resort to synthetic preservatives. For example, jelly that children like to eat must also be preserved. Otherwise, it is not high in sugar and water, how can it be kept at room temperature for so long?

Sodium hexametaphosphate is a commonly used moisture retaining agent in foods, such as meat products, fish sausages, ham, etc., which can improve water retention, increase adhesion, and prevent fat oxidation. Not only that, sodium hexametaphosphate can also prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten the fermentation period, and adjust the taste. In ice cream processing, it can increase the expansion capacity, increase the volume, and enhance the emulsification to prevent the destruction of the paste. A lot of food processing, such as improving the taste and color, is used alone or in combination with sodium hexametaphosphate.

In addition, the problem of adding non-edible substances to foods exposed by the media in recent years is also rare. Consumers must be vigilant about foods that are added with illegal additives, because illegal additives are definitely harmful to human health.
