What are the national regulations on the use of food additives

National food standard specifies the maximum use or residue of food additives. In addition, there are the following points for attention.

(1) the consumption of some food additives and their derivatives should be calculated according to their actual effective ingredients. For example, propionic acid and its sodium salt and calcium salt are preservatives of the same nature, and the maximum usage is calculated based on the active ingredient propionic acid.

(2) when food additives with the same function (for example, colorants of the same color, preservatives (Singapore food flavour wholesale) , antioxidants) are mixed, the proportion of their respective dosage to their maximum use should not exceed 1 (Singapore food Ingredient supplier) .
