With the increasing attention to food safety, more and more consumers have begun to pay attention to the safety of food additives. Among them, silicone oil, as a common food additive, has also attracted much attention for its safety. So, is there any food grade silicone oil?
First of all, we need to understand the properties and uses of silicone oil. Silicone oil is an organosilicon compound with excellent oxidation resistance and stability, so it is widely used in the food industry as an antioxidant, thickener, emulsifier, etc. In addition, silicone oil can also be used as a coating for food packaging materials to improve the shelf life and taste of food.
However, despite the wide range of applications in the food industry, not all silicone fluids are food safety certified. According to national food safety standards, silicone oil is divided into two categories: food grade and non-food grade. Food-grade silicone oil needs to meet national food safety standards and undergo strict testing and certification before it can be used in food production and processing. Non-food grade silicone fluids cannot be used in food production and processing.
Therefore, consumers need to pay attention to the ** and type of silicone oil when buying food. If food-grade silicone oil is added to the food, it can be eaten with confidence. However, if non-food grade silicone oil is added, it may pose a potential risk to human health.
In conclusion, silicone fluids have a wide range of applications in the food industry, but not all silicone oils are food safety certified. Consumers need to pay attention to the ** and type of silicone oil when buying food to ensure their own health and safety.
