Should not pose any health hazards to the human body;
02
Food spoilage should not be concealed;
03
Food additives should not be used to conceal quality defects in the food itself or during the processing, or for the purpose of doping, adulteration, or forgery;
04
The nutritional value of food itself should not be reduced;
05
Minimize the use of food as much as possible while achieving the expected results.

Food that uses food additives should be labeled on the food label for consumers to clearly consume. However, some consumers are concerned that if food additives are added to various foods they eat every day, will it cause an excessive amount of certain food additives to be consumed? Is it safe for children and other groups to consume food containing food additives? In fact, when setting the maximum usage of each food additive in China, the food safety risk assessment of food additives will consider the situation where people of different ages, regions, and genders eat multiple foods in a day and consume them for a long time. Therefore, the use of food additives within the prescribed range and dosage will not cause excessive intake, nor will it pose a threat to human health. China also implements continuous and dynamic tracking and evaluation of food additives in use. Based on the latest research results at home and abroad, food additives are re evaluated, the scope and amount of use are continuously adjusted, and some substances are prohibited from use.
