The storage requirements for food additives mainly include the following aspects:
Specialized person custody: Food additives should be kept by a dedicated person to ensure their safety and management standards.
Specialized storage place: Food additives should be stored in a special storage place or cabinet, separated from food raw materials to prevent cross contamination.
Labeling and recording: The stored food additives should be marked with the words "food additives" and the name of the food additive should be marked on the container. At the same time, a special book should be established to record the name, batch number, added food variety, added amount and other information of the additive.
Packaging integrity: Food additives should retain their original packaging to avoid confusion or misuse during use.
Safety measures: Toxic and harmful food additives such as nitrites should be locked for storage to ensure safety.
Regular inspection: Regularly check the shelf life and storage conditions of food additives to ensure that they are not expired or deteriorated.
Through the above measures, food additives can be effectively managed and stored to ensure their safety and effectiveness during use.
