Another social issue regarding the use of food additives occurred In Vietnam where many small-sized manufacturers used industrial additives instead of food additives to reduce costs, while ignoring the fact that they contained a high mixture of impurities and heavy metals. Hygiene tests were carried out and showed that a large number of manufacturers used higher proportions of additives than permitted, results came out positive for the carcinogenetic substance.
The director of the administration Nguyen Cong Khan was concerned because as he said : "If 5kg of illegal food additives are successfully imported into Viet Nam, the presence of those additives will be found in tens of millions of meals."
This is a social issue because it puts the lives of people taking in these additives in danger because consuming more additives than required would lead to health problems like hyperactivity, high blood pressure, allergies and life threatening diseases. Research shows that over consumption of additives affect children’s behavior as well.
Conclusion: As we see, food additives have its benefits but disadvantages. we have to be careful of how much we consume to make sure we have a healthy life. hope this website helped! :)
