The additive storm has involved hundreds of billions of Haitian flavor industry in a whirlpool.
Recently, there have been some discussions on Haitian soy sauce additives on the short video platform, saying that there are no additives on the ingredients list of Haitian soy sauce sold abroad, but only natural raw materials such as water, soybeans, wheat and salt, while there are many additives besides natural raw materials sold in China.
Some short video accounts use topics such as "Heicks Science and Technology" to point out that the soy sauce product of Haitian Weiye is "Heicks Science and Technology Food".
From the ingredient list of a bottle of Haitian Jinbiao soy sauce, we can see that in addition to natural raw materials, the main additives are sodium glutamate, disodium 5'- flavored nucleotide, disodium 5'- inosinate, sodium benzoate and sucralose, which is basically consistent with the ingredient list of Haitian soy sauce exposed by most netizens.
According to public information, among the above five additives, the first three are flavor enhancers, sodium benzoate is a common food preservative, and sucralose is a sweetener.
