  "Food additives have been demonized in China, and standardized use of additives will not harm your health." Yesterday, China's first One Health Research International Forum was held in Guangzhou. The forum was hosted by Sun Yat sen University, South China Agricultural University, the State Key Laboratory of Pathogenic Microbial Biosafety and Duke University (the United States), and undertaken by the School of Public Health of Sun Yat sen University. Chen Junshi, a famous nutrition and food safety expert in China and an academician of the CAE Member, said in his speech that "the overall qualification rate of food safety in China has reached 90%, while that in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou has reached 95%." He revealed that China may complete the formulation of the only set of mandatory national food safety standard system before 2015, and that there were three sets of national standards before the end.

  At the beginning of the speech, Chen Junshi said that the phrase "what else can we eat" that people are currently talking about is actually the result of many misconceptions about food safety issues. He believes that food borne diseases caused by microorganisms, i.e. food contaminated with pathogenic bacteria, are the number one enemy of food safety, but they have not received sufficient attention domestically. The second highest food safety issue is chemical pollution, such as pesticide residues, heavy metals, etc. The third is the illegal use of food additives, and the last is food adulteration/fraud. He clarified, "Zero risk does not exist in food safety, but from a regulatory perspective, we must have zero tolerance

  After taking a bite of bread, I worry about eating 9 types of food additives, "said Chen Junshi. Chinese consumers are most concerned about additives when it comes to food issues. Some product packaging often uses gimmicks such as" no colorants, no preservatives "to attract consumers, but this is not the case. Food additives have been demonized in China. He believes that food additives and illegal use of additives are two different concepts, and the boundary is very important. Food safety incidents caused by food additives have never occurred before

  One Health "is a global expansion strategy aimed at improving interdisciplinary collaboration and communication in all aspects of human, animal, and environmental health. It requires more communication and collaboration among public health professionals, doctors, and veterinarians to achieve the goal of optimal health. Domestic speech experts include four Chinese academicians, Zhong Nanshan, Zhao Guoping, Xu Jianguo, Chen Junshi, as well as renowned professors.
