Aluminum-Free Synthetic Color Line as an Alternative to Lakes
More and more consumers are showing interest in the origin of the ingredients contained in the products they buy since it represents something valuable to them because it makes them feel that they have more control over their health and what they consume.
It is essential that companies producing food or ingredients for the food industry and regulators demonstrate openness and clarity that align with the ever-increasing expectations of consumers.
In terms of food safety and food safety, there are already some regulatory restrictions in several countries around the world that push brands to seek alternatives to aluminum-free raw materials because, according to the alerts of the international body responsible for the toxicological evaluation of additives food and contaminants in food, aluminum can accumulate in the human body and cause damage.
The main objective of regulatory intervention is to reduce health risks from consuming foods added with aluminum-containing food additives. Some Latin American countries are already evaluating a possible restriction on the use of aluminum in raw materials for food use, some of them are Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela.
