Pet food
According to investigations, when current pet owners choose food for their pets, they usually see "agent" and "prime" printed on the packaging (such as xxx additives, xxx preservatives) Nouns with the suffix "(agent)" are all very loose and we dare not use them. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding 1: Thinking that food without additives and preservatives is safe and safe.
A small number of companies have seized on this sentiment of pet owners and clearly printed “No additives, no preservatives” on the packaging. In essence, this is a serious misleading to consumers, leading everyone to have the wrong idea that "products containing additives and preservatives are unsafe and harmful to pets." In fact, "contains or does not contain" does not represent the safety of the food. As long as some pet foods are "high sugar" and "high salt", there is no need to add special preservatives. High sugar and high salt themselves have the effect of suppressing microorganisms. There is basically no need to "contain additives and preservatives", but we all know that high-salt food is very harmful to the health of dogs.
Misunderstanding 2: Treating "natural" without calmness and calmness, blindly believing that natural is safe and synthetic is harmful.
Having a good impression of "nature" mainly comes from the aesthetic appreciation of nature and scenery. Now it extends to "pet food". It makes sense, but it is not complete. . In many cases, it is true that "natural" ones are safer than "synthetic ones." However, it cannot be abstractly concluded that "natural additives are definitely safer than synthetic additives." Infer based on scientific data. The main indicator for judging the safety of a food or additive or preservative is the ADI value (ADI, the abbreviation of Acceptable Daily Intake). The principle is that the daily intake of a certain chemical substance by humans or animals does not have any adverse effects on health. It is the daily allowable intake of additives established by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization. All additives can be safely consumed within the range of their ADI value.) The greater the ADI value, the greater the amount.Food additives are safer. The ADI value of the synthetic pigment tartrazine is 7.5, and the ADI value of the natural pigment turmeric is 0.1. It is obvious that the safety of "natural" pigments is not necessarily higher than that of synthetic ones.
