Not long ago, the incident of "pregnant women by mistake in snack bags" appeared on the hot search, causing attention from all walks of life. Many consumers have questions -what are the consequences of eating deoxidants by mistake? On September 23, the Jiangxi Provincial Market Supervision Bureau issued a reminder to interpret what the "uncontrolled" small paper bags in the food packaging are separately, whether it is poisonous, what should I do if it is accidentally eaten.

What is the deoxyer, is it toxic?

There are often small packaging bags in packaging foods, with "deoxidants, non -edible" printed on it. Some people say that this food oxygen is toxic. Is this true?

The deoxidant, as the name implies, is the role of absorbing the oxygen in the sealed packaging bag to slow the oxidation of food, extend the shelf life of food, and mostly be used in high -fat foods. To determine whether the oxygen is toxic, it depends on what it uses.

Tastes usually include iron dehydration agents, sulfate off -oxygen, and anti -hemoglobin oxygen. Among them, the scope of iron -based dehydration agents is the most widely used. Its composition is mainly iron powder, as well as some auxiliary ingredients such as calcium chloride, salt, activated carbon. These ingredients are safer to the human body. Sulfate oxygen is usually used in wine and slowly releases sulfur dioxide, which has an important role in preventing wine from oxidation. The national standard stipulates that free sulfur dioxide in wine is not higher than 50 mg/liter. After opening the alcohol, you can exclude sulfur dioxide in the wine body by "sober". Anti -hemorrite dehydration agent is a kind of high safety in deoxidants. It is commonly known as vitamin C. It is easy to oxidize reactions under the presence of oxygen to remove oxygen in the environment. The oxygen is often used to remove oxygen in liquid foods. Generally speaking, a small amount of deoxidant in food does not produce toxic side effects, but non -food should be avoided.

What are the consequences of food desiccant?

In addition to deoxidants, small paper bags in foods may also be desiccants. The placing desiccant in food is to reduce the humidity of the food where the food is located and prevent food from being affected by the environmental humidity. It is usually placed in foods that need moisture -proof, such as seaweed, tea, biscuits, etc.

Desicida has silicone desiccant, lime desiccant, and calcium chloride desiccant. Among them, the silica glue desiccant is transparent beads particles, which is insoluble in water and other solvents. The chemical properties are stable and cannot be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. If you accidentally eat it, it will be excreted from the body through defecation. Generally, it will not threaten human health. The essence of calcium chloride desiccant is a kind of salt, which is basically harmless to the human body and can be diluted by drinking water or milk. It should be noted that the lime desiccant is calcium oxide. After the water, it will become calcium hydroxide and releases heat. If you accidentally eat, it will easily stimulate the mucous membrane, cause esophageal damage and gastric ulcers. In particular, children must avoid contact with children's contact. Such desiccants.

What should I do if I eat a deoxidant and desiccant?

Eating a small amount of deoxidant is usually not caused by adverse reactions. Human metabolism will excrete it from the body, and you can also drink water or milk in moderation. If you accidentally consume a lot of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc., it may be that the deoxidant causes iron poisoning, and you need to go to the hospital immediately.

If you eat discharge, you need to clearly clarify which type of desiccant is to eat. If you accidentally eat lime's desiccant, drink water to dilute and vomit as soon as possible to reduce the absorption of the body, and then send it to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

In addition, although most of the oxygen and desiccants are harmless to the human body. However, its leakage reflects the problem of safety production and quality control. Therefore, when consumers discover the leakage of oxygen or desiccants, they should refuse to continue eating the food.
