When the manufacturer processes and produces food, is sodium hexametaphosphate "additive" or "non-additive"

　　With the widespread use of food additives in food, now everything you eat has to be weighed, and you feel that no matter what additives are in use. So, there is a question about whether the manufacturer's sodium hexametaphosphate is "additive" or "non-additive" in food processing and production?

　　

　　Without food additives, there would be no modern food industry

　　"In real life, it is easy to confuse 'non-edible substances' with 'food additives', and to blame food safety accidents such as melamine on the abuse of food additives, which is unscientific." Wu Maoyu, vice president of the Jinan Fruit Research Institute of the All-China Supply and Marketing Cooperative, said that this misunderstanding has deepened the public's misunderstanding of food additives, and food additives themselves should be said to be good things, and their contribution to the development of the food industry is immeasurable.

　　As a food additive, sodium hexametaphosphate is added to food for improving food quality and color, aroma, taste, and for the needs of preservative and processing technology, and is food grade rather than industrial grade.

　　Scope of use of food grade sodium hexametaphosphate: it must be used in accordance with the scope and amount of use of national food additives, such as canned, fruity (fruity) beverages, plant protein drinks, the maximum use of 1.0g/kg; aquatic products, dairy products, poultry products, meat products, ice cream, instant noodles, the maximum use of 5.0g/kg.

　　The premise of food processing and production of sodium hexametaphosphate is "additive" or "non-additive" is to ensure food safety, not to eliminate food additives, but to control the use of food additives within an acceptable range to prevent abuse and misuse of food additives. At the same time, we must do our best to prevent and severely crack down on the addition of non-edible substances to food.
