快科技3月27日消息,今天,國家衛健委同國家市場監督管理總局發佈了50項食品安全國家標準和9項標準修改單。
It is clearly stated that it is no longer allowed to use terms such as "no additives" and "zero additives" to emphasize food ingredients.
"No additives" is a description of the production process and is not exactly equivalent to the amount of ingredients or ingredients in the final food product.
For example, a fruit juice drink label says "no added sucrose", but the juice itself contains a lot of sugar.Therefore, the claim of "no added sucrose" in such products does not mean that the products do not contain sugar, which is easy to mislead the public.
Some sugar-sweetened beverages that claim to be "no added sweeteners" may also contain other food additives, which affect the correct perception of consumers.
The prohibition of the use of "zero additive" and "no additive" in prepackaged food is to allow consumers to correctly understand the food label information, choose food more scientifically and independently, and avoid consumers from blindly paying attention to promotional language, ignoring the true attributes of products, and causing potential risks to food safety and health.
In addition, it is specifically emphasized that children and adolescents should avoid excessive intake of salt, oil and sugar.
In recent years, the problem of overweight and obesity among Chinese residents has been increasingly prominent, and the rate of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has also continued to rise.
The revision of the standard requires that prepackaged foods should be labeled with "children and adolescents should avoid excessive intake of salt, oil and sugar", hoping to guide children and adolescents to realize the dual impact of salt, oil and sugar on health, and also reflect the concern for the health of this special group.
