1. Counterfeiting

Some products on the market are seriously affected by counterfeiting. For example, Wahaha Nutrition Express sells for 4 yuan, with a profit of about 1 yuan. Its copycat product? Wanghaha? Nutrition Express sells for the same 4 yuan, and its profit is as high as more than 2 yuan. Its products may not contain any milk source, and are completely prepared with additives and thickeners. Many people joked, ?Packaging costs more than drinks.?

Copycat food pretends to be well-known products with highly similar packaging, but the quality is likely to be substandard. Counterfeit foods are generally registered similar to certain brand foods. The trademarks are usually deceptive names, advertising slogans, etc. to attract consumers. Word games are used in the food names or imitations of branded foods, such as "Leibi" imitations. ?Sprite??Wanghaha?Imitate?Wahaha?;?White Coke?Imitate?Pepsi?And so on. However, the quality and flavor of counterfeit food are far from the genuine ones. The other method is to entrust some processing companies to imitate the relevant products to produce them, so as to achieve the effect of imitating the real ones.

The packaging and names of counterfeit products are very similar to genuine products, and the prices are relatively low, which will confuse consumers to a great extent. 2. Excessive food additives or misuse of additives

There are many products that are at risk of expiration. Some products cannot be found at the State Food and Drug Administration. Many of the manufacturers on the packaging are fictitious. If you call the number reserved according to the packaging, no one will answer.

According to the maximum daily intake of potassium sorbate announced by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization as 25 mg/kg per person, a certain spicy bar in Shanxi Province was found to contain serious amounts of potassium sorbate during a random inspection. Exceeded. According to an article on seasoned noodle standards published by the National Health Commission in 2018, spicy strip products are classified as seasoned noodle foods. According to the national standards for instant rice noodles, the use of additives such as potassium sorbate and sodium dehydroacetate is not allowed. In some 50-cent foods, such as spicy strips, potassium sorbate can be found everywhere, containing more than 10 kinds of food additives, and some even have as many as 20 kinds. 3. Unable to legitimately protect rights

In accordance with relevant national standards and regulations, prepackaged food labels provided directly to consumers should include food name, ingredient list, net content, specifications, producers, and distributors Name, address and contact information, production date, shelf life, storage conditions, food production license number, product standard code, etc. Counterfeit foods may lack the above-mentioned elements, be fake, or be confused.

Excessive intake of potassium sorbate will irritate children's digestive system in the short term, while long-term excessive intake will affect children's absorption of calcium, thereby affecting children's growth and development. Long-term consumption of high amounts of cyclamate will increase the load on the liver and kidneys. For children with imperfect physical development, it will greatly affect the development of kidney function. Some fake foods contain a lot of chemical ingredients, which also put pressure on the kidneys. Long-term intake of these foods by children can seriously affect their health and easily lead to obesity and other problems.
