What harm the above-mentioned unqualified food will cause to the human body

Mold is an indicative indicator of the hygienic quality of food. The number of molds in food refers to the number of mold colonies formed in the 1g or 1mL sample after the food sample has been processed and cultured under certain conditions. If the mold in the food is seriously exceeded, it will destroy the nutritional composition of the food, make the food lose its edible value, and may also produce mycotoxins; long-term consumption of food with excessive mold may endanger human health.

The total number of colonies is an indicative microbial indicator, not a pathogenic indicator, reflecting the hygienic status of the food in the production process. If the total number of colonies in food is seriously exceeded, it will destroy the nutritional composition of food and make the food lose its edible value; it will also accelerate food spoilage, which may endanger human health.

Staphylococcus aureus is a common pathogen. Once the food is not properly preserved, Staphylococcus aureus can multiply in large quantities, and eating food that is seriously contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus may cause food poisoning, resulting in severe vomiting, fever, diarrhea and other symptoms.

Vanillin is a common food additive, because of its aroma of vanilla beans and rich milk aroma, it is widely used in a variety of flavored foods that need to increase milk aroma, especially dairy products, baked goods, beverages and edible oils. According to the standard requirements, the use of vanillin will not cause health hazards to the human body, but a large amount of vanillin intake will lead to dizziness, nausea and other symptoms, and in severe cases, liver and kidney damage.

Bright blue, also known as edible blue No. 2, is a water-soluble non-azo compound, which is a common synthetic colorant and is widely used in food production. If the long-term intake of bright blue exceeds the standard of food, there is a possibility of teratogenicity and carcinogenicity.

Amaranth red, also known as blue acid red, azo compound, is a common synthetic colorant and is widely used in food production. If the long-term intake of amaranth red exceeds the standard of food, there is a possibility of teratogenicity and carcinogenicity.

Colorants, also known as food coloring, are used to give and improve the color of food products. If long-term excessive intake, it will increase the burden on the liver and gastrointestinal tract, causing certain harm to human health.

Carmine, also known as big red, bright scarlet, azo compound, is a common synthetic colorant, widely used in food production. Carmine has no poisoning phenomenon in animal tests, but if the long-term intake of carmine exceeds the standard of food, there is a possibility of teratogenicity and carcinogenicity.

Sorbic acid and its potassium salt have strong antibacterial properties and good antiseptic effect, and are currently widely used food preservatives. Long-term consumption of foods with excessive sorbic acid and its potassium salt may cause harm to liver, kidney and bone growth.

As a broad-spectrum food preservative, dehydroacetic acid and its sodium salt have a strong ability to inhibit mold and yeast. Dehydroacetic acid and its sodium salt can be completely absorbed by the human body, and can inhibit a variety of oxidases in the human body, long-term excessive intake of dehydroacetic acid and its sodium salt will endanger human health.

The peroxide value is an early indicator of rancidity of oils and fats, which mainly reflect the degree of oxidation of oils and fats. Eating foods with excessive peroxide values generally does not cause damage to human health, but long-term consumption of foods with serious peroxide values may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea and so on.
