Is the "handmade food" that often appears in the circle of friends really safe?

It is worth noting that handmade food is not necessarily better than processed food in nutrition. But there are also security risks that cannot be ignored.

1. Handmade food, separated from the food producer system.

Handmade foods such as cakes, moon cakes, crayfish and nougat are outside the food supervision system, and most of them have not passed the formal food inspection. It is precisely because of the lack of supervision that most foods on the market are mixed, and it is hard to say whether these foods will be doped with some harmful substances. If people ingest harmful substances without knowing whether the food is safe or not, it is harmful to health.

2. Handmade food is unfit for eating.

Most people think that what is natural is good. Handmade products that claim to use pure natural ingredients are not necessarily the most suitable for people to eat, because there are many pure natural ingredients that people's stomachs can't bear. Take milk as an example. The milk we usually drink usually needs manual treatment, disinfection and filtration. Otherwise, there may be germs in natural milk, or the structure of protein is not reasonable enough, and long-term consumption is harmful to health.

3. "No added" handmade food? inexistent

"No additive" is actually a marketing method of handmade food. In modern society, want to eat handmade food without any additives? That's unlikely. In the process of making food by hand, various seasonings such as salt, oil, soy sauce and vinegar will come in handy, and these seasonings are all food additives!

Handmade food is not as good as you think.

Many merchants claim that handmade food is pure natural ingredients, so it is safer to eat. In fact, no matter whether what many sellers call "pure natural" food is true or not, even if it is really pure natural food, it is not necessarily safer. Experts believe that "natural" and "wild" are not necessarily safe. Real wild animals and plants are often completely out of the food supervision system, and are more likely to spread diseases or poison lives.
