正确认识和使用高倍甜味剂

Proper recognition and use of high-intensity sweetener

近几年我国的高倍甜味剂得到了迅速发展,在国际市场上的占有率越来越大,国内市场发展也稳步提高。高倍甜味剂在丰富人们食品结构的同时,消费者对其还存在不同程度的误解,认为高倍甜味剂对人体可能造成某些伤害,对其安全性存在顾虑和恐慌心理。另外由于政府相关部门对食品监督管理上的不足,也确实存在食品加工生产者超范围、超量使用甜味剂等问题,对人民群众的健康和生命安全造成了威胁。文章总结了近几年我国高倍甜味剂产业的发展现状,介绍了JEC-FA制定的常用高倍甜味剂的ADI值,指出了应正确认识高倍甜味剂的安全性能。食品添加剂企业和食品加工企业要切实保护消费者的健康权益,严格按照国家标准规定使用添加剂,杜绝超量和超范围等滥用行为,遵守食品安全法,促进甜味剂行业健康有序发展。
