     There are colorants, jelly kimchi have antiseptic; An ice cream contains 16 kinds of food additives, a bag of instant noodles and 14 kind of... Nearly 90% of food contains additive, and life in "food additive" has more than 2,000. Either directly or indirectly, to add, add, each adult around to eat into photos additive.

     Relevant experts tell us, food additives have improve food quality and prolong food storage life and facilitate food processing effect, in many cases, no food additive makes food less safe. For example, if cancelled, instant noodles preservatives kept not how long will metamorphism, jelly that after two days, he can't eat, supermarket shelves of a lot of foods are not very well preserved. But, after such scientific and strict limit strictly processing synthesis of the amount of food additives in food, because each link, the people pursuing business interests but now big flood trend, that nearly 90 percent of foods contain additives, every eat into every adult photos, defeats additive can add "can be added, had to add do not add also to add less as far as possible the scientific principles."

     At present in our country, expanded without authorization for use of food additives range, the excessive use of food additives, illegal add non-food substances or itself quality to have a problem of food additive, etc, has become the current position of the three use of food additives. Because food additive appear food issues unabated, many people talk about additives and color change, but had to constantly eating all day with the additive added to all kinds of food.

     Indeed, at present our side appeared with additives of most about food safety issues, there are still many institutional problems is not effectively solve, such as the relevant laws and regulations lag, the existing laws and regulations cannot cover the whole food chain; Departments responsibility is not clear, the current food safety monitoring system adopt subsection management mode, involving agriculture, health, quality inspection, industry and commerce and so on, more than 10 departments; Inspection standard lag is not complete, foreign technology standard revision cycle is generally 3 to 5 years, our country has many belong to "service" for more than 10 years, grassroots detects the orgnaization configuration is not complete, the lack of uniform standard configuration standards, etc. But for the present situation, to a large extent, the bottom line is not perfect or not, the system lies in the current related laws and regulations can be seriously strictly enforced.

     We see some additives events which questions the most key issues: food suspected of several melamine milk powder, milk powder that is not only more regulators and milk powder production enterprise "uninformed", and in countries round for another round of melamine in chongqing after WeiJian before police have seized melamine content exceeds the "toxic powder" 2.6 million kilograms, weak enough to explain supervision; "Pure" incident, lean every pig spend two dollars money can buy quarantine inspection, the three big proof, and then spend $100 rbis, then the checkpoint planned realigning lights to nanjing some designated slaughterhouses...

     Therefore, food to Ann is first. Too much food additives, has seriously influenced public health. It is in this case, the relevant national authorities in recent years are constantly "to force" food safety problems.

     The party central committee and the state council attaches great importance to food safety, but how to "strengthening supervision", how to perfect regulation of many loopholes, how to intensify the supervision of accountability poor personnel how to accelerate efforts, full of grass-roots detection institutions and manpower, how to let the experts, scholars and social all circles in food safety supervision, is "the people's livelihood issues than days". We don't want, additive illegal abuse events occur repeatedly, and does not wish again and again food safety accidents always endless expose, this will not only influence the government's credibility and implementation, the more will affect the livelihood of the people welfare and social harmony and stability.
