Is it illegal to use cyclamate in steamed buns???

Cyclamate, also known as sodium cyclohexyl sulfamate, is a non-nutritive synthetic sweetener, its sweetness is 30 times that of sucrose, and ** is only 3 times that of sucrose, and it is not as bitter as saccharin, so it can be used as an international food additive in soft drinks, juices, ice cream, pastries and preserves. It can also be used for home seasoning, cooking, pickles, cosmetics sweetening, syrup, icing, sweet lozenges, toothpaste, mouthwash, lipstick, etc.

When used, it is combined with a ratio of 1:500 water to have enough sweetness. 2 When used alone, 10 grams of sweetness is equal to 500 grams of sucrose (i.e. 50 times).

According to China's "Hygienic Standard for the Use of Food Additives" (GB 2760), "cyclamate" can be used as a sweetener, and its scope of use is: 1. Pickles, sauces, wines, pastries, biscuits, bread, ice cream, ice cream, popsicles, beverages, etc., and the maximum amount of use is; Second, candied fruit, the maximum amount of use is; Third, tangerine peel, plum, plum, dried bayberry, etc., the maximum use.

When making steamed bread, it can be added in an appropriate amount according to the standard, which has the effect of improving the taste, and it has no nutritional value. Mantou Information Network.

Our steamed bun people's own **.

Let's look at the percentage. Exceeding one value is illegal.

It is illegal to add cyclamate to steamed bread, but it is not harmful to the human body if not consumed in excess.

Cyclamate is a food additive, but it can only be added to bread and pastries, because the production process is different, so it is forbidden to add it to steamed bread.

In China's "National Food Safety Standard for the Use of Food Additives" (GB 2760-2014) (hereinafter referred to as the "Standard"), cyclamate is allowed to be used in canned fruits, jams, bean curd, nuts, bread, pastries, seasonings and even in prepared liquor (beverage liquor made by blending, mixing or reprocessing with fermented liquor, distilled liquor or edible alcohol as the liquor base, adding edible excipients or food additives, blending, mixing or reprocessing, and has changed its original liquor base style), but it is not allowed to be added to liquor.

As a food additive, cyclamate, even if it is used in the food industry, is based on certain scientific evaluations. According to an article published on the official website of the former State Food and Drug Administration, according to the evaluation results of the FAO WHO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives, the daily allowable intake of cyclamate does not exceed 11 mg kg of body weight. This is equivalent to a person weighing 60 kilograms, even if he eats cyclamate every day, as long as his daily intake does not exceed 660 mg, it will not bring harm to the body.

In an article titled "Interpretation of the Risk of Benzoic Acid and Cyclamate in Pickled Vegetables", it is mentioned that cyclamate generally does not cause harm to the human body as long as the dosage does not exceed the standard, and if you regularly eat foods with excessive cyclamate, it will cause harm to the human liver and nervous system due to excessive intake.

Yes! Cyclamate is a chemically synthesized food additive that is 30 to 40 times sweeter than sucrose. In addition to enhancing sweetness and playing the role of sugar substitute, the addition of cyclamate does not have any nutritional effect, which is used by manufacturers to reduce production costs.

However, if you regularly consume foods with excessive cyclamate, it will cause harm to the liver and nervous system.

According to the requirements of GB2760-2014 standard, steamed bread belongs to fermented flour products, not pastries, and cyclamate is not allowed. It is illegal to add.

According to the relevant interpretation of the Ministry of Health on the use of food additives in pastries (Wei Jian Han [2009] No. 263), steamed bread belongs to the pastry defined in the "Pastry Terminology" (GB T12140-2007). Regardless of which type of pastry the steamed bread belongs to in the "Pastry Terminology", it can be divided into the pastry category (food additives are used. It contains cyclamate, but the dosage is specified.

**The fiercely fried sweet vegetarian steamed buns, looking for the Ministry of Health's statement, is actually not illegal!! The Ministry of Health also doesn't explain things clearly...

How do consumers know if they add or not? Who dares to add the administrative organ!
