Food company should not be trusted
Came across the news of the mass usage of plasticiser DEHP in Taiwan food industries. They used this harmful substance as a thickening agent to cut cost for products like custard cream, jams, jellys and fruit juices. They were much more cheaper with the better thickening effects compared to the safe ingredients that were supposedly to be used in the respective food products. If the DEHP stays in the body long enough, it is most likely to cause some issues in the reproductive organs of both men and women. It is also carcinogenic and thus it is rather shocking to read this news on the papers one day. Certain of the products are seen in Singapore during special food fairs, and was wondering when these companies added such harmful stuff into the products. Wonder how much has fellow Singaporeans been ingesting this????!!!

I think its too difficult to avoid consuming these type of 'dangerous' food because Singapore can only rely on other countries like Taiwan or China etc. to import food in. I think we can only trust and hope that those manufacturers have more liang xin and not create such dangerous foods.
