With the development of economy

1、With the development of economyGroup5With the development of economy, people have more attention to the quality of the food. More and more people not only focus on the price, but also check the ingredients, food additives, etc., on the package. people will sum up various factors before choosing the

2、food. These factors such as imperfect jurisprudence and regulatory system frequently have caused the issues of food safety in recent years. Some illegal businessmen in order to seek interests add industrial additive to food, which leads to serious damages to consumers health. Compared with this, the

3、 damage to body of using food additives out of scope is not so easy to be noticed. Th e Problem of using food additives out of scope is easily ignored by the buyer, so we hope to explore the effects of food additives, the condition of using food additives out of scope in the supermarket and peopleat

4、titudes and opinions through research. Firstly, let me tell you sth about food additives.Food additives are substances added to preserve flavor, enhance its taste and appearance or extend the shelf life (延长保质期). Food additives are practically divided into 22 categories, including sweeteners, thicken

5、ers, presertives, acids and food coloring etc. Food additives are the secret weapon in todays food industry. It is almost essential. With the improvement of the consumers appreciation of food, the food which made of traditional techniques has been difficult to satisfy the consumers, we all recognizi

6、ng that there is no food additives, no modern food industry.Food additives health standards GB2760 defines the scope and use of food additives, according to the food additives management approach, expanding the scope need to be approved by the Ministry of Health, However, some food manufacturers are

7、 not in accordance with the regulations, they are free to expand and ignore some of the food safety issues, which is defined as the use of food additives out of scope.In order to understand the definition and effect of food additives,members of our group first separately checked data, then the whole

8、 group members discussed the way of practice, finally we decided that supermarket research, questionnaire and interview as our method develop the activity.Before going to the supermarket, we surfed the Internet to consult the cases of using food additives out of scope. We found that the functional b

9、everages such as red bull cannot add caffeine, emulsifier is prohibited to add in puffed food, flour products cannot add brightener, if using them these conditions are defined as using food additives out of scope. So when we going to the supermarket to do the research we have focused on objects, bis

10、cuits, puffed food, flour products.Besides, we focused mostly on whether the lemon yellow is added in the food properly and exactly meeting the national standards. Lemon yellow is a kind of artificially synthesized additives. In addition to the lemon yellow, carmine and sunset yellow are similar to

11、it to some extent. From the appearance, its orange powder and dissolves easily in water. According to the hygienic standards of using food additives in China, it can be added in food such as ice-creams, jelly, yogurt, drinks, tins and candies, etc. It means that if we find them in the foods like mea

12、t, fish, fruit, baby foods and cookies, then it must be used out of scope. Our group members spared much time to go to several supermarkets to do research, totally surveying 123 pieces of food. Observing ingredients on food packaging, we found that shanghaojia, panpan, guozhen and other foods add le

13、mon yellow out of scope. In the process of investigation whether brightener is added in flour, we got sth out of expectation, which is that most of the noodles adding eggs use gardenia yellow color. We hope that our findings will be useful for you when you pick food.During the investigation we found

14、 that there is no problem in most products with famous brands in the supermarket, in order to get more information, we went to the grocery store where the price of food are relatively cheaper. We know that malatang which is a kind of puffed food, xiazai noodles and lemon flavor soda biscuit,Mimi add

15、 lemon yellow out of scope. So we believe that price and quality still have a connection.We also make the interview in the campus at random. Now listen to a section of recordThe investigation and Analysis on the super scope of the use of food additivesWe released the questionnaires on the Internet a

16、nd received 153 questionnaires. There are 91 men and 62 women among them. Among the respondents, 15.3% of people are in high school, 69.2% of people are undergraduates or junior college students, the rest of them are postgraduate.From the picture above, we can know, almost 2/5 of the people do not k

17、now about the food additives, only a few people know this knowledge. Large number of people know of them, but dont know them.The figure two shows that only 1/4 people will pay attention to food additives when shopping, which shows that consumers do not pay much attention on food additivesThe perspec

18、tive of their own questions shows that ordinary people are hard to find some food which is unqualified, unless the news media leaks.In our investigation, the number of people who know about the lemon yellow is much bigger than the number of people who dont know. Especially in the scope of use in lem

19、on yellow , only two people chose that they understand.However, after we spread the scope of banning the use of lemon yellow, there are still some people choose not to pay attention to it. They still buy that food in which lemon yellow is beyond the scope of use.But mostly consumers will choose to pay attention, and not bu
