"Children's Food" is more suitable for children?Don't rush to buy it!

Author:Beijing Science Center Time:2022.09.29

A few days ago, Xiaobian and her mother who hadn't seen her for a long time went to the mall to go shopping. As soon as she entered the supermarket food area, she provoked "children's food". Friends also emphasized with me that if you are a child's diet, you must pay attention, you must buy a special "children's food", healthy and safe!

So, is it really guaranteed to have "children's food"? I do n’t know, many baby parents around Xiaobian will buy foods marked with “children’ s food ”.

In the online search, this kind of food named "children" is not a small number, and the price is more expensive than ordinary food. Many parents generally tend to choose children's food in order to "rest assured". In fact, according to CCTV reports, my country does not specifically set up "children's food" categories. Many foods with the words "children" are often spontaneous publicity gimmicks, which may not be healthier!

Children's food health standard issues

At present, my country has clearly issued national safety standards for infant formula foods, which are mainly auxiliary food, milk powder and other auxiliary nutrients for infants and young children. For other categories and age children's food, there is no clear national standard.

Many children's foods on the market, in addition to the words "children", will also print the words "no add", "pure natural", but for children, truly high -quality children's food is not just without adding, but instead, but instead, but instead, it is good, but instead, but it is good, but instead, it is good, but it is good. It is necessary to meet the nutritional needs of children's growth, including DHA, calcium iron zinc, vitamins, etc., which can be called a qualified "children's food". Otherwise, what is the difference between this?

Inventory of children with harmful healthy children

"Children's Food" is actually just the concept of merchants for marketing. If some products choose not to choose or even gain more than benefits, children's eating too much will affect eating habits, and in the long run, they will affect their health. The main main categories are common:

1. Children's soy sauce

Many children's soy sauce promotes "low -salt" and "low sodium", which is more suitable for children. According to the national standard, the sodium content per 100ml of soy sauce can be called "low salt low sodium". "Soy sauce" exceeds this standard.

In addition, children under 1 year old do not recommend additional salt. Some parents think that adding soy sauce can make food more flavor, but unknowingly, salt is also taken in the child with soy sauce. Eat it with confidence, excessive adding will affect the baby's health.

2. Children's milk and children's yogurt

The dairy products produced by regular manufacturers generally meet the safety production standards, but some children's milk will add more syrup, white sugar, etc. to cater to the sweet taste of children.

Children eat more children's milk, and then eat daily three meals, it will appear "tasteless" and "not sweet", which is not conducive to the development of normal diet. Excessive sugar intake causes the risk of obesity and dental caries. However, there are also some children's milk without adding sugar, flavors, etc., they need to check the ingredients table carefully to screen.

3. Children's cheese

Most of the children's cheese on the market belong to "re -made cheese". A large amount of salt will be added during the production and fermentation process. The sodium content is very high.

Eat this kind of children's cheese often makes children take too much sodium, which not only easily leads to increased blood pressure, but also additives such as pearic acid will also inhibit children's calcium absorption, which is not conducive to children's growth and development.

How to choose healthy food

In fact, if you want children to eat healthy, you do n’t have to buy children's food. For reasonable matching and safety production, ordinary ingredients can ensure low -fat, low sugar, low salt, etc., which can meet the nutrition of children's growth.

If you still need to buy children's food, parents need to learn more about children's food health knowledge and learn how to see the ingredients table. Many products that are advertised as "children's milk" have "milk -containing drinks" or "modulating milk" on the ingredients table. Therefore, if you want to know the true "identity" of food, you can know the ingredient list.

Generally speaking, the more the ingredients or raw materials in the ingredient table, the higher the content, the higher the content. Therefore, parents can choose children's food in front The less the better, the food that is given priority to the non -additives except for nutritional supplements.

In 2020, the China Style Food Flowing Association officially released a group standard of "General Requirements for Children's Snacks", which has made demonstrations and requirements for the existing children's snack market to a certain extent. Essence

The children's food market does not have strict regulatory control, and even the parents need to light their eyes. When choosing the product, remember to "only buy the right one, not buy it!"
