Is it safe to add gelatin to health candy

It is safe to add gelatin to health confectionery in accordance with regulations.
First, the nature and source of gelatin
Gelatin is a protein derived from the connective tissues of animals, such as skin, bone and tendons. It is a natural biological macromolecule. It has good gelling, emulsification and stability, which make it a common additive in the food industry, including the production of health confectionery.
Second, security - qualified products
Strict production standards
The production of food grade gelatin is carried out under strict hygiene and quality control conditions. In the extraction process, it goes through a number of complex processes, including cleaning, acid or alkali treatment, cooking, filtration, etc., to remove impurities, bacteria and other harmful substances.
For example, in industrial production, animal skins used to extract gelatin must first undergo strict quarantine to ensure that the raw material comes from healthy animals and there are no risk factors such as disease.
Regulatory requirements
The food additive gelatin is strictly regulated in most countries and regions. In China, the production and use of gelatin must meet the relevant standards such as "Food Additive Gelatin" (GB 6783-2013). These standards have clear and strict regulations on gelatin quality indicators such as moisture, ash, heavy metal content (such as lead, arsenic, etc.), microbial limits (such as the total number of colonies, coliform, Salmonella, etc.).
As long as health candy manufacturers use gelatin that meets these standards and is added in accordance with the prescribed dosage, it generally will not cause harm to human health.
Iii. Potential risks - unqualified products
Inferior material problem
If gelatin is produced from animal raw materials without strict quarantine or contaminated raw materials, it may contain harmful substances. For example, gelatin extracted from cow bones containing the mad cow disease virus poses a serious threat to human health. However, at present, countries are strictly preventing this situation, through strict raw material control to avoid such incidents.
Excess adds risk
Any food additive has a specified scope and limit of use. If the amount of gelatin added in health confectionery exceeds the prescribed standard, the quality and safety of confectionery may be affected. For example, excessive gelatin may cause the candy to be hard, affect the taste, and may increase the burden on the stomach after ingestion.
In general, health confectionery purchased from formal channels with qualified gelatin added in accordance with regulations is safe, but consumers should also pay attention to choosing reliable brands and products.
