What is the harm of eating fake salt, and what is the harm of eating fake salt

If you eat edible salt that is passed off as industrial salt, the harm is even greater. Symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, and general weakness may occur. It is understood that industrial salt is mainly used in alkali production, boiler soft water, dyes, soap and washing powder, feed processing and other fields, and into the edible field, its harm is not small.

Eating fake salt is extremely harmful to human health!

Fake salt refers to salt products that do not meet the quality standards of salt products and laws and regulations that prohibit the production of salt products. The hazards of fake salt are toxic and carcinogenic. Poisoning:

Fake salt is generally made of industrial salt such as sodium nitrite, which will react with hemoglobin in the body, which is extremely harmful to the stomach and intestines, and can cause poisoning and even death. Carcinogenic: Fake salt contains sodium nitrite, sodium nitrite is highly toxic, and in the body, nitrosamines will be synthesized, which has a strong carcinogenic effect and will induce tumors in multiple organs, especially esophageal cancer and lung cancer.

To identify the authenticity of salt, you can trace the salt packaging from the small package*** to query the product information of the designated production enterprises!

Fake salt is very harmful, you must pay attention to these when buying salt, and tell the people around you after reading it.

The main component of general salt is sodium chloride, and there is a small amount of potassium iodate in some iodized salt, which are all beneficial elements to people. Sodium chloride is often replaced with sodium nitrite in fake salts. It can be used to add color, flavor, sterilization, because sodium nitrite has a salty taste and is very cheap, so this chemical is generally put in fake salt, but sodium nitrite is toxic.

Dangers of Eating Fake Salt:

1. Because fake salt is not iodized, guessing will lead to iodine deficiency, gastrointestinal disorders, and nervous system damage. If the human body is deficient in iodine, it will cause 10% to 20% of mental loss in mild cases, and in severe cases, it will cause the consequences of emaciation or dementia.

2. Among the components of industrial salt, sodium nitrite is a toxic chronic carcinogen, and the human body ingests sodium nitrite to grams, which can cause poisoning, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, general weakness and other symptoms, and excessive intake will lead to respiratory and circulatory failure and death.

Industrial salt packaging is generally 50 kg per bag, a single catty ** cheap, edible salt is generally packaged in small bags, 400-500 grams per bag, the packaging bag is marked with anti-counterfeiting, product standards and coding and other identification. The real salt packaging is exquisite, and all the production quasi-font sizes, as well as the substance content, are written very clearly, while the fake salt packaging is rough and does not indicate the ingredients. Because the sales of salt products are strictly regional, for example, Heilongjiang generally sells seaweed iodized salt produced in Chuzhou and low-sodium crystal pure salt produced in Xiaogan, Wuhan.

However, after the salt is sold across regions, this identification method is not necessarily accurate. The edge banding of real edible salt is more formal, and the width of the edge banding at both ends is equal.

Real salt contains iodine in its composition. There is no iodine in the fake salt, which is tested with starch solution, and can be identified according to the principle that starch solution turns blue when exposed to iodine. If there is a change in color, it means that it is a qualified iodized table salt.

The iodized salt should be placed in a cool and dry place, avoid direct sunlight and moisture absorption, and be stored away from the stove to avoid the influence of high temperature; Residents can buy iodized salt in small packages, and the storage time should not be too long to prevent iodine volatilization. Third, in order to prevent iodine loss, the packaging of real salt will have an anti-counterfeiting logo, and the position of the logo is fixed and the surface is smooth. Fake salt is not labeled, or the fake label is pasted casually, and the hand is not smooth to the touch.

Fake iodized salt bags are jagged and angular, and the cutting is more obvious. In addition, the edge sealing of the true iodized salt bag is more formal, and the width of the edge sealing at both ends is equal, but the fake iodized salt bag often grows some at one end. Really large bags of salt:

Printed with the words "exquisite iodized salt" in red, the production enterprise and factory address are clearly marked, and the bottom of the large packaging bag has the "Weiqun" brand anti-counterfeiting logo. Fake large packaging bag salt (private salt): check the packaging of salt, observe the anti-counterfeiting mark of salt, the anti-counterfeiting mark of real salt has a clear hollow pattern and words, which is not easy to erase, look at the inkjet code of the salt bag, or judge by chemical methods, the composition of real salt contains iodine, and there is no iodine in fake salt.

The best way to distinguish is to choose a regular supermarket and choose a regular manufacturer, with safety verification, these manufacturers can better avoid choosing fake salt, eating potassium salt will seriously lead to excessive potassium intake will be prone to hyperkalemia, will lead to kidney disease will lead to uremia or chronic glomerulonephritis. It can cause high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease.

You can see the color of the salt, the color of the real salt is more delicate and does not contain impurities. In the case of fake salt, there are many impurities, which are dark gray. Eating fake salt may be bad for the kidneys.

There will be no fake from the regular supermarket, look at the production date, production location, manufacturer, see if there is a quality inspection mark, now the bag is basically ***, scan ***, see if there is regular information, see how the quality of the salt bag is? Fake salt is harmful to the human body, fake salt has too much iodine in it, eating it will make people get big neck disease, and some fake salt can also cause cancer.
